A mortgage deed dated 19 July 1787 wherein Peter John Heywood and James Heywood pledge £9,343 18s in three per cent consolidated annuities to John Duke of Atholl as security for a principal sum of £2000 with interest. The document includes a request for legal advice on the effect of the assignment on bank annuities and recovery procedures.
Modern brewery.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a disused brewery at this site. The brewery was centred at the grid reference provided.
The brewery was owned by Edward Gawne, who later acquired Kentraugh, and the family also owned Mount Gawne (now The Mount) which stands just to the north-west of the brewery. Gawne was a lawyer and banker who issued card-money locally.
In the 1850s the brewery was being operated by Connal & Co., but by the late 1860s had gone out of use.
The site has been subject to substantial redevelopment in the latter 20th century as a motor garage, despite which two of the larger buildings had survived, although altered and reused as dwellings.
In 2016 the entire site, including the surviving 19th century structures, were finally cleared and redeveloped for housing.

A substantial circular cropmark, estimated as 90 - 100 feet in diameter, was noted by AM Cubbon in June 1975, and estimated to be centred at the grid reference provided.
Isle of Man Government aerial photography (2015) confirms the faint presence of two, not quite concentric circular marks, in the area earlier indicated. The inner mark is the more blurred of the two and measures approximately 40m in diameter. The outer mark is better defined, particularly to the north and west, and appears to be a ring 65m in diameter.

Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Mount Karrin by CH Cowley.
It is possible that Cowley was drawn to this locality by the presence of the well-preserved burial mound (PRN 0452). No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the vicinity of the mound for indicative purposes only.
The antiquary Charles Harry Cowley was an avid collector of worked flint and coarse stone artefacts revealed by agricultural activity, mainly on farms located around Peel, and occasionally from further afield. He was active from 1900 until 1943. His entire collection of artefacts, together with a daybook cataloguing his discoveries, was later donated to Manx National Heritage.
Undated standing stones.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 records this site, together with the annotation, 'Standing Stones'.
The stones could not be found by a Royal Commission field inspection in 1955, and no trace was found when the site was developed for residential purposes in the 1990s.

Modern watermill.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, without annotation.
The building is still standing.
Modern millpond.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, without annotation.
The millpond is located just to the north of the mill building, and still exists.
Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a water mill at this location, without annotation.
The leat leads about 30m from the millpond to the mill, and an even shorter tail race rejoins the watercourse just downstream of the building. Neither are now visible.
A slightly oval, grass covered mound with an average diameter of 11.0 metres and height of 0.7 metres. Its grass is vivid green in contrast to the surrounding field. The tops of a few large stones are exposed but there is no evidence of a retaining circle. It may be a barrow or it may represent field clearance. Judging by the abrupt junction of its slopes with the surrounding ground, it is artificial.
A mound which was described by P.M.C. Kermode in 1916 as 'A large mound on the top of the hill above Mount Murray and overlooking Douglas Bay is recent, and was erected about 1812, by Sir Wadsworth Busk, Attorney-General, to commemorate the recovery of King George III from illness."
Modern survey work has concluded that the mound is in fact a Bronze Age bowl barrow, which survives as a grass-covered, ditchless mound, with a diameter of 14.0 metres and up to 1.7 metres high. It is slightly mutilated with minor hollows.
P.M.C. Kermode reported that a small stone circle once stood on the slopes of Mount Murray, consisting of short grey pillars adjoining a burial mound. No trace of the stones now exists, but the burial mound survives (PRN 0751.00).
