Roman coin.
A bronze coin of Septimius Severus (193-211 AD) was found whilst ploughing in 1889 at Ballamona, Port Soderick.
The grid reference refers to Ballamona farm, for indicative purposes.
The coin remained in private hands following its discovery.
Ballamooar is thought to be the site of a keeill or chapel, which would have been in use from circa AD500 until circa AD1000. The old farmhouse stood in an enclosure known as Faie Cabb'lagh, the Chapel Close, which stands some 20 metres above sea level. The keeill was close to the gable of the house but has long since been destroyed and no trace of it now remains.
A reservoir at Ballamooar at Barnell, in the north of the island. It was constructed in the 1880s to supply Peel and remained in use until the late 1940s.
Country estate in Kirk Patrick, associated particularly with Sir George Moore and his family.
Ballamoore belonged in the eighteenth century to Sir George Moore, merchant, shipowner and member of the House of Keys. An account of the Moore family describes it as his country house, to whose grounds and gardens he devoted considerable attention. His business interests were much wider: he owned or held shares in vessels trading overseas and was a partner in a bank in Glasgow.
Robertson listed Ballamoore among the principal estates of Kirk Patrick. He also noted Sir George Moore among those introducing improved agricultural practices, particularly in relation to turnips.
The family papers preserve much of the domestic life of the house. Ballamoore became a refuge for several of Sir George's grandchildren when the fortunes of his sons deteriorated. His daughter-in-law wrote from Ireland thanking him and Lady Moore for caring for her children while her husband Philip sought a new start in America.
Philip Moore wrote back after reaching America and offered to send his father a flowering shrub which had impressed him there — a magnolia — to beautify the gardens at Ballamoore.
The family's difficulties continued. Philip later returned from America and by the spring of 1786 was confined in the Marshalsea Prison in Dublin over a claim connected with the failed affairs of his brother James. Family correspondence repeatedly brought the consequences back to Ballamoore, where wives and children were supported by Sir George.
Sir George Moore died on 1 October 1787, aged seventy-eight.
