The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.  It has a fairly level oval, almost rectilinear top.

The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.  It is an elongated mound on a north-south alignment.  Of the elongated mounds in the group it is significant that they are nearly all orientated north-south i.e. across the contours of the slope.  In several examples it is obvious that the elongation results from a build up on the downhill side and provide a level platform for a round hut on top.  In some of the cases mentioned the outline of the round hut can be traced by a barely perceptible bank. The elongation is not always so easily explained since in some cases the top slopes down only slightly less than the surrounding ground.

The site of a cruciform feature within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.   It is a large irregular mound of four arms partly surmounted by a modern wall. Its average height is 1.5 metres.  It has been interpreted as a group of elongated huts or some central feature of the settlement.  It has also been suggested as a funerary or ritual monument. Its cruciform plan may indicate that it is a medieval pillow mound.

The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.  It is one of the best examples in the group. It is built-up to hold a circular hut whose diameter of 4.0 metres is still traceable. The mound is 10.0 metres x 8.0 metres by 0.6 metres high.

The site of a sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.  It is a T-shaped mound with the cross piece orientated east-west, along the hill contour, and measuring 14.0 metres in length. From the outside top of the T to the foot of its stem measures 11.0 metres. On the east arm of the T is a level platform on which is a traceable circular bank with a diameter of 3.0 metres, which looks like a small hut or pen.

The site of a well-preserved sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It is a very irregular mound with a tail stepped down to the south.  Its length north to south is 13.0 metres and its average width is 8.0 metres. Its average height is 1.5 metres. It appears to have held a building stepped up in two stages - the upper part appears to have been rectangular.

The site of a Bronze Age or Early Medieval barrow.  It survives as a ditchless, grass-covered barrow with a diameter of 8.0 metres and height of 1.0 metres.  A small mound has been added to the surviving southern section, but the original southern edge has been ploughed away.  This barrow was recorded as being "2 to 3 foot" high in 1928 at which time flints were found here, which may point to a prehistoric date for the feature.

The Board of Ordnance was the British government body responsible for the supply and maintenance of military equipment, fortifications, and stores. Following the Revestment of 1765, it assumed responsibility for the upkeep of the Island's forts and garrisons, including Castle Rushen, Peel Castle, and the smaller forts at Douglas and Ramsey, which had previously been maintained at the Lord's expense.

Official Board of Trade report to the Privy Council's Committee for Plantation Affairs, dated 24 June 1760, reviewing 19 acts passed by the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1758-1759. The report examines objections raised by the Penn Proprietors to 11 of these acts, including debates over proprietary rights, crown prerogative, judicial tenure, taxation, and legislative authority. Includes extensive legal argumentation on the limits of provincial law-making and the Crown's supervisory power. Contextually relevant to Isle of Man Revestment as a parallel case of colonial constitutional negotiation and proprietary-vs-parliamentary authority disputes.

Before a fishing boat went to sea for the first time, or at the start of each season, it was blessed. The custom connected the practical business of fishing to the spiritual life of the community. The sea was dangerous and unpredictable, and every coastal parish had its stories of boats that did not come back. The blessing acknowledged that danger and sought protection from it, whether from God, from the saints, or from older powers that nobody named too precisely.

This is a transcription of a classical geographic passage from Boethius describing the islands of the Irish Sea and Scottish coast, with the Isle of Man positioned as the first and principal island. The text provides historical context on Man's ancient significance as a seat of the Druids and its geographic relationship to Scotland, England, and other British Isles. It is relevant as background source material for understanding Man's place in medieval and classical geography.

A historical geographical description of Scottish and Irish Sea islands extracted from Boethius's work, focusing on the Isle of Man (Mona) as the principal isle opposite Galloway and England. The text provides classical and medieval context for Man's geography, religious significance, and position within the island chain stretching to the Hebrides and Shetland.

A place-name found at Peel at least as early as 1703 is evidently 'Boayly Spittal' i.e. 'place of the hospital' but there is no record of a hospital, medieval or otherwise, at this site. The name has been identified with the area of land on the east side of the Patrick road at least as far as St German's Place. The grid reference provided is for indicative purposes only and is approximately centred on the landholding.
