A tabular population census extracted from the Chancery Book Inrollment for 1784, listing the number of inhabitants across all Manx parishes. The document provides a comprehensive enumeration of the population distributed across 20 parishes, with a total of 24,924 inhabitants recorded across multiple columns (possibly representing different age groups, genders, or administrative categories).

A tabulated population census for the Isle of Man organized by parish, showing numerical data across seven columns with a total of 25,635 inhabitants recorded in 1784. The document includes noted corrections for errors in addition and transcription discrepancies identified by various clergy and officials.

The site of a 20th century munitions factory.

The site of a 19th century lime kiln.  It appears to stand relatively intact to the east side of the road to Port Cornaa.

The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel.  The outline of its enclosure is seen on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map in the field numbered as Plot 173, which is still remembered as the 'Chapel Field' or 'the Glebe'.  The enclosure was about twice its present size until the roadway to the Point of Ayre lighthouse was cut through it. When the present house on the Port Farm was built circa 1908, traces of graves were found at the west end but apparently no lintel graves. It was said that stones taken from the keeill, or its enclosure, were built into the old house standing by the side of the road a little further to the east.

A Civil War gun battery was established at Cranstal in 1643 but was ineffective, and by 1656 was 'neglected and ruined.'  Its site remains unlocated. Three pre-18th century demi-culverin guns are known near Cranstal; two used as gateposts at Ballachrink. A fourth cannon was taken from Kerrowdhoo to Derby Fort A tradition says that a stream in the area was bridged with cannon.

The site of a post-medieval horse engine. The circular horsewalk is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, located to the southern end of an L-shaped outbuilding to the west side of the farmyard.

The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter.

The site of a mound of unknown significance.  It has been conjectured that it may represent a medieval motte or a Viking mound. A picture of 1795 shows the mound without a building on it though it has been suggested that it once held a summer house and it may have been constructed as a viewing platform. It is generally circular in plan and grass covered, situated on a natural rise.  It is flat topped with no trace of building foundations. It has an upper diameter of 5.5 metres and is 2.0 metres high in the north. There is no trace of a ditch nor of a bailey. A field bank approaching from the east is built upon the lower slopes in the north of the mound and continues to the west. If this were a defensive structure it would have been sited 15 metres to the west where it would have had advantage of a steep sided natural drop on two sides i.e. to the south and to the west. It seems likely that it may have been built for a view point, such as a summer house, since the extra 2.0 metres in height bring into view the distant hills which are otherwise not visible at this spot.

The findspot of an early prehistoric flint scatter.

Prehistoric worked flint. A single flint flake of indeterminate character, 23mm overall, localised only to Port e Chee sandpit. The extensive sandpit, now disused and landscaped, is centred at the grid reference provided, for indicative purposes. The object is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1971-0016/3.

The findspot of a Bronze Age cordoned urn, found in 1884 during ploughing at a point 175 metres north-northwest of Port-y-Shee House. It is thought to mark the location of a now lost barrow. The urn was inverted and contained a bronze razor with damaged cutting edge and 'minute fragments of partially calcined bone'. Dating is uncertain, but the urn is probably of Late Bronze Age date and the razor is also classified as Late Bronze Age by Piggott, although Davey lists it under Early Bronze Age.  Both artefacts are now in the Manx Museum (Accession No. 1954-0567).

Port Erin is a village on the south-west coast of the Isle of Man. It lies near Cronk ny Arrey Lhaa ("Hill of the day watch"), one of the ancient beacon stations used to warn of approaching enemies, and during the Second World War part of the village was used as an internment camp for women and children.

The site of a wartime internment camp at Port Erin, used between 1940 and 1945. It was known as Rushen Camp and was unique in being the only internment camp for women. The camp was not surrounded by barbed wire or guards and the women were billeted in hotels, guest houses and local homes and enjoyed freedom within the area.

Modern chapel. The earlier Primitive Methodist chapel at Dandy Hill in Port Erin was replaced in 1903 by larger chapel in Station Road, on land acquired just two years earlier. The design was by William Clement Williams. The building still serves as the Methodist church for Port Erin.

Modern chapel. The original Primitive Methodist chapel at Dandy Hill in Port Erin was replaced by an enlarged structure on the same site in 1860. Edward Gawne of Kentraugh and William Milner and his family contributed towards the cost of the building and additional land. The chapel served until 1903 when a larger chapel opened in Station Road, but continued in use as a Sunday school until 1963. It has since been demolished and the site redeveloped.

Modern chapel. The original Wesleyan chapel at Victoria Square in Port Erin was opened in 1881. It was replaced thirty years later by a new and larger chapel on land adjacent, and converted to use as a Sunday school. The building is now used as a workshop.

Modern chapel. The original Wesleyan chapel at Victoria Square in Port Erin was replaced in 1911 by a new and larger chapel on land to the east. The chapel closed in the early 1970s, and the spire was demolished as unsafe in 1983. The building has since been converted into an arts centre and has been extended several times.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Port Grenaugh by CH Cowley. The findspot cannot be re-identified from the description and the grid reference is provided for reference 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.
