Modern watermill. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts a watermill at this location, annotated as 'Flour Mill'.

Modern mill leat. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts the tail-race from Ballaughton Mill forming a leat parallel to the River Dhoo and extending 330m, at which point it was augmented by water from two streams flowing from the west, before continuing a further 150m to power Pulrose Mill. The entire course of the River Dhoo has been altered following the development of National Sports Centre and Pulrose power station, following the former course of the leat for part of its length, and the leat no longer survives above ground. The grid reference relates to the midpoint of the former leat for reference purposes.

Modern tail race. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867-8 depicts the tail-race from Pulrose Mill, extending a distance of 260m before rejoining the River Douglas at SC3690075540. The final 80m of the tail race still survives, but the remainder lies beneath warehouses on the Middle River industrial estate. The grid reference relates to the midpoint of the former tail race for reference purposes.

Iron Age earthwork. The site appears as a substantial mound set in a wetland basin. The Ordnance Survey recorded two concentric earthwork banks, the outermost of which extended eastwards under the modern road. These features if real are rather less pronounced today. Nevertheless the substantial central mound is quite prominent to the west of the roadside. Excavations by Peter Gelling were cut short by his untimely death, but his investigations were sufficiently advanced for him to propose settlement activity, including the presence of structures, and to suggest an occupation lasting until as late as the 7th century AD based on the recovery of E-ware. More recent excavations by the Centre for Manx Studies towards the edge of the mound found evidence for ironworking, and material radiocarbon dated to the 1st or 2nd century BC.
