Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballawattleworth by CH Cowley, from the 'Field Behind Tip'. 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.

A small-scale emergency excavation at Ballawhannell by Dr L.S. Garrad in 1984-5 revealed an iron-smelting site. Post holes associated with a pit containing burnt material and a stone rubber were found.

The site of an early medieval keeill or chapel thought to have been in use between circa AD500 and circa AD1000. The keeill enclosure is shown in the field numbered Plot 416 on the 1870 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map, measuring approximetely 18 metres east to west by 13 metres. All features have been ploughed out and no visible trace of the chapel or of a burial ground enclosure remains.  A boulder which was recorded here was suggested to have been the keeill font.

Undated standing stone. This boulder was located close to the road at Ballawhetstone farm, but was broken up in 1904 by the farmer. Large pieces of white quartz are reportedly to be found in a field boundary close to the site of a well near the farmyard, and are supposed to be the remains of the boulder. The well is traditionally considered 'holy', and the former existence of a fairground further implies that the immediate area was held to be significant. There is a well established local tradition that the Billown 'Circle' (PRN 0146) and the standing stones surrounding it are closely associated. In the absence of clear evidence for the former location of the boulder, the grid reference refers to the location of the well, which is marked on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868, and around which the remains of the boulder are said to be located.

A prehistoric stone axehead was recovered from Ballawilliegell by C.H. Cowley and registered as axehead No.65 by him.  No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the farmstead for indicative purposes only.
