Undated grave. W Cubbon (director of the Manx Museum 1932-40) maintained a set of Ordnance Survey 1:10560 maps of the Isle of Man, on which he recorded antiquarian observations and discoveries. At the grid reference provided, he noted 'Caley's Grave'. The type and age of the grave is not known, but a disc of red, semi-precious stone, discovered c.1890, is reputed to have come from it. The object is in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1954-1710.

A former farmhouse, now used as the base for the Calf of Man Bird Observatory.

A record for an early medieval burial discovered on the Calf of Man.

Crop marks identified on the Calf of Man of uncertain date.

This remarkable slab was found on the Calf of Man in 1773. It is thought to have been found close to what is believed to be the site of a chapel, though no recognisable remains now survive. It is now incomplete, but would once have formed the front of an altar. The surviving portion shows the Crucifixion, with Christ nailed to the cross and the spear-bearer to the left. The scene would have originally been balanced by the figure of the sponge-bearer on the right, and there is tantalising evidence, in the form of a foot, for additional figures, almost certainly angels, above the arms of the cross. The bearded figures are intricately carved, their clothes draped and folded, those of Christ bound by a large brooch decorated with an endless figure-of-eight plait. The stone is now displayed at the Manx Museum.

An alleged dyke recorded between SC16236508 and SC16106503 has been identified as a natural feature. There are a series of such 'dykes' in the area, which consist of bank-like formations of outcropping rock aligned northeast to southwest, which conforms to the direction of the rock strata on the Calf of Man.

A two-storey, double-fronted cottage in Cregneash village, with a cat-slide to the rear; it is not immediately clear if this is original, or an extension.  The dwelling postdates the Ordnance Survey large-scale 1:2500 mapping published in 1870. The building is owned by the Manx Museum and National Trust.

The Ordnance Survey records a dwelling at this location on its large scale 1:2500 mapping published in 1870.  The core structure at that time had an extension on the east gable which has since been replaced and additional extensoins have been added to the rear and to the west gable.  The building stands beyond the westerly end of Cregneash village, and thus rarely appears in archive photographs of the settlement, so the date and chronology of these additions is not clear.

An extract from Camden's Britannia (1607) discussing the Isle of Man's etymology, classical nomenclature (Monabia, Mevania, Menavia), and its geographical position between England and Ireland. Includes commentary on linguistic and cultural affiliations with Ireland and Norway. Represents early modern scholarly treatment of Manx history and identity.

Extract from William Camden's Britannia (1607) discussing the nomenclature and classical references to the Isle of Man, including citations from Ptolemy, Pliny, Orosius, Bede, Nennius/Gildas, and Giraldus Cambrensis. Includes etymology of 'Man' and historical dispute over whether the island belonged to Britain or Ireland, settled by the test of venomous creatures.

William Camden's historical account of the succession of rulers and ownership of the Isle of Man from Alexander III of Scotland through the Stanley family, covering the medieval and early modern periods. Traces the island's transfer between Scottish, English, and noble hands, including the key role of William de Montacute, Edward II, Robert Bruce, Henry IV, and ultimately the Stanley earls of Derby. Provides important context for understanding pre-1765 Manx constitutional and territorial claims.

A historical account by Camden (1607) tracing the ownership and sovereignty of the Isle of Man from Alexander III of Scotland through the medieval period to the Stanley family. Covers legal claims, military conquest, and the constitutional relationship between Man and the English Crown. Highly relevant as background context for understanding the pre-1765 political and jurisdictional status of Man.

Medieval burial ground. The site lies in a field traditionally known as the 'Chapel field'. The chapel and a small sub-rectangular enclosure surrounding it are left undisturbed at the edge of a cultivated field and were investigated by the Manx Archaeological Survey in 1918. The enclosure is roughly 25 by 17m, and is visible as a rise in the ground. The Survey was of the opinion that the enclosure had been cut through by the road to the south, and it would seem likely that it has also been abbreviated by ploughing on the north-east side. The bank defining the enclosure was recorded by the Survey as about 1.2m wide, but in some places was spread as much as 2.4m, and rising in places to a height of 1.3m; it is much reduced now. A number of large stones lying on the surface would appear to have been placed relatively recently, and probably derive from agricultural disturbance in the surrounding field. There are no recorded burials, but the once substantial nature of the surrounding bank and the raised interior would together seem to imply that the enclosure was once used for this purpose.
