A single prehistoric worked flint was found by Mr C.H. Cowley at Ballawoods. The flake is of indeterminate late Mesolithic or Neolithic type.
The precise findspot is unknown and the grid reference is therefore centred on the farmstead.
The C.H. Cowley Collection is now part of the Manx National Heritage collections.

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.

Medieval burial ground. The site comprises an elliptical grass covered mound with a fairly uneven top raised an average of 1m above the surrounding ground. It measures about 45m from north to south and 25m from east to west.
Although investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1917, no graves were found, despite the well-defined enclosure surrounding the chapel. No other records of burials are known.
Medieval chapel and burial ground. The site comprises an elliptical grass covered mound with a fairly uneven top raised an average of 1m above the surrounding ground. The site was investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1917. The Survey found that the chapel was orientated almost east-west, and measured 8.5 by 3.7m internally. The doorway was in the west wall, and an altar survived at the east end.
The chapel stands within an oval enclosure measuring about 45m from north to south and 25m from east to west.

The findspot of a collection of Mesolithic flint artefacts of Heavy Blade type and also subsequently of microlithic finds collected by B.K. Corlett in the vicinity. The original finds may be the "Bann" artefacts found in the banks of the Struan stream.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large scale mapping published in 1870 records a small enclosure at the grid reference provided, at the north end of which is a structure annotated as 'Ruin'. Additional roofed buildings stand nearby and would appear to form a farmstead, which the OS names as Ballawyllin. The OS particulars record the enclosure as a stackyard.
The area of the farmstead is now wooded and the site of the stackyard is now part of an open field. Only one building survives, in a ruinous condition.
