A ditchless, gorse-covered bowl barrow with a diameter of 12.0 metres and average height of 0.3 metres. A few small stones are exposed on the mound. No further sourced detail could be verified.
Ballahutchin Hill, around the 3.2-mile mark, is a long climbing straight that passes Glenlough farm, with a campsite sitting at the crest of the rise. It is a topographic name for the hill itself rather than a point tied to any recorded racing incident.
The site of a Bronze Age bowl barrow described as having a cist. It is a fern-covered, ditchless bowl barrow much mutilated on the top. Its diameter is 14.0 metres and the maximum height is 0.6 metres. On the north side is a cist, orientated northwest to southeast, lined on all sides but the south with stone slabs. The cist measures 1.0 metre by 0.6 metres and is largely filled in, its depth now being 0.2 metres. It was formerly supposed to be the site of a keeill, but has been reinterpreted as a Bronze Age funerary site.
Iron Age settlement.
This group of raised platform earthworks was investigated by Dr Gerhard Bersu in 1941-42 and again in 1943-44. The two larger sites have a rath-like appearance, but investigation suggested to the excavator that the two larger earthworks represented massive timber-built roundhouses with turf-covered roofs supported on roughly concentric rings of posts and walls formed from thick earthen banks.
The two smaller earthworks were only subject to smaller-scale testing. One produced worked flint of later Mesolithic date.
Two samples from the few timbers that were retained provided uncalibrated radiocarbon dates falling in the 3rd century BC.
Subsequent discoveries of dwellings of a similar period in the British Isles have not replicated Bersu's interpretation, and it would instead appear that the concentric rings of posts supported a platform (bounded by the massive earthen bank) on which were constructed a succession of smaller timber roundhouses.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint and a coarse stone axehead were recovered from Ballakaighen by CH Cowley, from the 'Big Stone Field'.
The stone referred to would appear to be that located in OS Field no. 0303, which is centred at the grid reference provided.
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.

A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballakaighen by CH Cowley, from the 'Brow'.
It is difficult to reconcile Cowley's descriptions with individual fields within this fragmented quarterland, and in the absence of further evidence it is not possible to identify this site. The grid reference relates to the extant farmstead for indicative purposes only.
