The site of a midden which is thought to be of early prehistoric date. Found near a lime kiln which is shown on the 1870 1:10560 scale Ordnance Survey map.
This small lead mine was originally opened in 1835 and was known as Clucas's Mine or Ballalerghy Mine. From 1836 it had a 40 foot water wheel operating pumps in the engine shaft. The workings reached 38 fathoms by 1837 but the mine was closed in 1839 and the water wheel removed. Later attempts to reopen the mine proved unsuccessful.
The mine, consisting of several structures and rough ground denoting spoil heaps, is marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 mapping together with the annotation 'Old Mine'; the site has been returned to agricultural use.
The grid reference provided is centred on the structures as shown on the OS.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballalough by CH Cowley.
No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the farmstead 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.

The site of a probable Bronze Age funerary cairn. It is a slightly elongated mound, 7.0 metres in diameter and 0.4 metres high, surrounded by a tree ring. Within the tree ring and before the foot of the mound is encountered is a berm raised 0.4 metres above the surrounding ground. This raised berm has probably been created by the ploughing away of the surrounding soil. This feature is planted over with trees but displays a heavy stone content.
A possible prehistoric barrow which appears as a grass-covered mound which is 19 metres in diameter and up to 0.9 metres high. It is in a field with other similar mounds which appear to be natural in origin. Though possibly a bowl barrow it is more likely to be a natural feature situated on the edge of a geological fault which has caused a wide elongated hollow orientated east-west.
The reported site of a Bronze Age standing stone. A stone is shown in the field numbered as Plot 258 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map. This may have been a post-medieval rubbing stone. No stone seen at this location on modern aerial photographs.

Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballalough, West Baldwin, by CH Cowley, who described the findspot as 'the field opposite the lane to the house'. It is possible that this relates to OS Field 323, centred at SC34578103.
However, as the identification is not certain, and there are no further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery, the site grid reference relates to the farmstead for indicative purposes.

The site of a probable Viking burial mound. It survives as grass and gorse covered mound with a diameter of 15.0 metres and a height on its eastern side of 2.0 metres. It is situated on the crest of a hill and a short distance from the sea.
By its size and topographical position it is comparable to the Viking Burial Mound at Cronk y Dooney. Two other mounds were reportedly seen in this area but no trace was found of any other mounds in the vicinity during field survey.
Site of water mill and associated water management.
The current mill building is still standing, though roofless, and is recorded but not described on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition map of 1868.
The millpond was located just to the north. It appears to have been filled in, although the leat is still visible.

The site of a ill-defined, elongated mound 13.0 metres east to west by 17.0 metres north to south. It is grass covered and ditchless. It may be a barrow but could be another type of structure. Approaching from the west and curving into the mound is a probable track with height the same as the mound.
