The findspot of a Bronze Age urn, which was uncovered alongside a now lost hedgerow boundary. Scattered quartz pebbles were noted across the area surrounding the findspot, which may have been associated with a lost burial mound.
Neolithic chambered tomb. The site consists of a simple rectangular chamber built of two very large side stones with an end stone wedged between them, opening to the SE. The chamber is exposed for its full height, roughly 1m - there is now no trace of a mound or cairn. A kerb of heavy stones, only one of which is missing, is set close to the chamber.
The chamber was already roofless in 1866, but cairn material existed within the kerb to the level of the chamber orthostats. A tall orthostat 3m to the East of the entrance appears to be an original feature. When surveyed in 1868 there were several prone slabs, one of which lay in front of the entrance and was thought to be part of the capstone. By 1872 this stone had been removed to the South and a fourth stone had appeared. The other prone slabs which today form a rough circle round the monument were added earlier this century, almost certainly as the result of agricultural activity.
Ballakelly is thought to be an early tomb with its small massively built rectangular chamber and minimal round cairn with flattened front; the detached standing stone is perhaps part of a proposed later elaboration of the front. The best parallells for this tomb, though not exact, seem to be in SW and S Scotland.

An Early Bronze Age flat axehead was found in a field near Ballakelly Cottage, Ballakilpheric, in 1975. The axe is considerably corroded.
The grid reference is centred on the field.
The axehead is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1976-0105.
A turf covered mound which shows a high stone content. It has a diameter of 9.0 metres and an average height of 0.6 metres. It has a retaining circle of stones on average 0.5 metres high, 1.0 metres wide by 0.3 metres thick. Some small stones have evidently been dumped on top from field clearings.
The findspot of a scatter of Mesolithic flints, including flakes, blades, microliths. Some flakes are possibly of Bann Heavy-blade type. They were collected by Mr Alan Skillan and the record dates to 1 January 1983.
The site of a round cairn of late Neolithic or Bronze Age date. It was opened in 1865 and cup-marked stones were found as well as pottery sherds, a flint knife and the remains of a cremation burial. Later an urn was found nearby and reburied in the west hedge of the field, 107 metres west of the monument.
On the interior south wall of the cist is a deeply incised phallic symbol, not seen by Megaw 'which has not hitherto been reported and is unique on the Isle of Man'.
The site of an Iron Age roundhouse or defended settlement. It is a grass-covered circular earthwork set in low lying land which was probably once a marsh. It has an overall diameter of 38.0 metres and consists of a much spread bank average 9.0 metres wide surrounded by a ditch average 5.0 metres wide. The bank has an average external height of 0.7 metres and an average internal height of 0.3 metres. The ditch has an average depth from the outer lip of 0.2 metres. The ditch and bank have been ploughed out in the south-east. There is no visible trace of stonework or of an entrance. This example compares with other roundhouses dating to circa AD200.

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 western side of the farm outbuilding at the northwest side of the farmyard.
