The site of an erect stone which measures 1.25 metres high by 0.54 metres wide and 0.23 metres thick. It is set in a ploughed field with no trace of a mound around it. There are rock outcrops in the vicinity.
A Bronze Age stone cist containing a beaker of Clarke's group N3 (Corpus No 374) was found in 1919 by Mr J.F. Cowley of Baroose during the ploughing of a field behind Baroose Cottages, about 75 metres to the left of the highroad from Douglas to Laxey, on the south end of a ridge, about 110 metres above sea level. The upper edges of the cist were about 23 centimetres below the surface, the lid slab having been removed. All the slabs of the cist were removed, after measurement, to the adjoining field fence. The beaker was found in fragments but was carefully 'reconstructed' by Canon Quine and later by Mr A. Knox. Quantities of charcoal, implying cremation were also found in the cist and two flints, one a small rude scraper and the other a slightly-chipped nodule.
A reported keeill site at Ballameanagh near Foxdale, which would have been in use in the period AD500 to AD1000. It is thought that the remains of the keeill were removed during the early 1860s. It was located in the field numbered 2995 on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map.
An intact skeleton was apparently found in a stone coffin in the burial ground adjoining the keeill, but no trace of a chapel or burial ground now survives. The field is was known as 'Chapel Field' and a Mrs Lace and others remembered the walls standing and several headstones of graves around. The stones are said to have been used for buildings on nearby Kionslieu farm.

The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large-scale mapping published in 1870 bears the annotation 'Limekiln', but without indicating the location of the structure. The 1:10560 mapping published in the same year does, however, mark the building, which was at the grid reference provided.
There are no surface remains today, but the kiln would appear to have been built into the hillside at a break in the slope. The site is now traversed by the footpath which provides public access to the hillfort of Cronk Sumark.
A small quantity of worked early prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballameyrick by C.H. Cowley, included an arrowhead, a scraper and a knife. 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.

Scatters of Neolithic "Ronaldsway" type flints have been found at 'Ballameyrick". The location is uncertain but it is thought to lie in the Ballagyr area between Whitestrand (SC 267856) and the outskirts of Peel (SC 252845). The scatter also may have included flints of Mesolithic "Bann" type.

The site of a Bronze Age burial cist which was located within a plantation close to the farmhouse at Ballamilghyn. Glass beads found here were given to the farm children to play with and have since been lost. When recorded, Mr James, the farmer, pointed out the site where the cist was said to have existed, which was now occupied by a refuse heap with no trace of the cist visible.
