This is an Iron Age roundhouse settlement which survives as a ploughed-out low mound, with concentric ditch and bank.

Iron Age defended promontory; medieval watch station. The site is protected by an earthen bank and ditch across the landward side, and on the north side by precipitous cliffs on the north and east. The bank is 7m wide with a maximum inner height of 1.5m and outer height of 2.2m. A ditch to the landward of this is 6m wide on average and 1m deep, though it has suffered plough damage. Excavation by PS Gelling in 1957 showed that the rampart was faced with dry walling inside and out and was 3.8m wide. The excavator believed that both faces were part of a reconstruction, for they stood on a layer of slatey rubble and building stone, which was thought to be Iron Age in origin. The rebuilding of the rampart probably took place before the construction of the rectangular longhouse within the enclosed promontory. Prior to investigation, there were surface indications of the building, but excavation proved it to be orientated NW-SE, with bowed walls and internal measurements of 7.5m by 4m. There was a possible entrance 2m wide in the south-east corner, but no trace of stonework. Apart from a few postholes for support for the roof and entrance, little else survived to indicate the construction of the walls, which seem to have been of earth and turf. There was a rudimentary raised bench along each long wall and at the west gable, formed by cutting down into the bedrock in the centre of the building; here there was also a hearth. The excavator believed that the house represented Medieval reoccupation of the site. More recently it has been argued that the building was used as a watch-house as part of a system of watch and ward, and did not serve a domestic purpose.

Gelling believed that both faces were part of a period of medieval reconstruction, since they stood on a layer of slatey rubble and building stone, which he thought was Iron Age in origin. This interpretation is crucial in establishing an Iron Age date for the origin of the site, as no Iron Age features were recognised within the defended area of the promontory, and had presumably been effaced by later medieval activity.

Prehistoric coarse stone tool. A worked prehistoric coarse stone tool was acquired by CH Cowley from Mr C Cashin of Market Place, Peel. No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the finder's address 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.

The possible site of an undated fort, said to be located to the south of a fort on Gob ny Rona or Tableland Point. It appears to have been mentioned by P.M.C Kermode but no evidence of such a monument has been found and later sources believed the record to be erroneous, possibly a confusion with the fort on the point (PRN 1073.00). It may however refer to the Civil War battery thought to have stood on the point before the Gob ny Rona battery was built in the late 18th to early 19th century.

Ringfort. This impressive oval earthwork survives to a maximum height of 4.6m. The bank, which averages 7m in width, has a diameter ranging from 31 to 35m. There is an entrance on the north-east side. Apart from the enclosure being built up on the north-west side to create a more-or-less level interior, there is no sign of any internal features. The site has been compared to the circular structure at the Braaid, and stands at a roughly similar altitude, but here the likeness ends as there is no sign of any stone in the bank at Cashtal Lajer.

A cairn is shown here on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map, located on the boundary between the Ballaugh and Jurby parishes. It may have been of Neolithic or Bronze Age date but no longer survives as a surface feature.

The possible site of an Iron Age or Early Medieval promontory fort, although the features here have been interpreted as being of geological origin.  The site is found on a projection of the brooghs and appears to be defined by a ditch measuring 7 metres wide and 1 metre in depth which cuts off the narrow neck of the promontory to the southwest. This creates an isolated shelf or "island" of flat ground which is taken to represent the interior of a fort.  Fragments of a possible outer bank have been noted outside the ditch.  It has been suggested that the "ditch" has been caused by a natural geological slip caused by coastal erosion. However, this part of the coastline appears to have remained stable since the time of the 1870 1:10560 scale Ordnance Survey map, which shows the promontory fort and names it as Cashtal Ree Gorree. The old name of the local estate, Balyhamig, was recorded in 1515, and has been traced by antiquarians to the Scandanavian name Hamnarvik i.e. Harbour creek.  This has led to the conjection that this is might be a defensive work of late date with Viking or post-Viking association but there is no other evidence to support this.

Neolithic chambered tomb. The well-preserved chambered tomb of Cashtal yn Ard is situated on raised land giving views overlooking most of the parish of Maughold and across the sea to the Lake District. Although the stone cairn has been stripped away, the largest, firmly-set stones create a dramatic burial site. The impressive arcade of the sharply curved forecourt, now restored, measures 6.7m wide by 5.8m deep. The largest of the stones forming the forecourt stand 2.3m above ground level. Five stone-built chambers extend eastwards from the forecourt, each chamber separated from its companion by lateral stone slabs. The maximum height of the stones forming the chambers is 1m, gradually reducing eastwards. The longest of the chambers is 3.2m and the shortest is 2m long; the average width is 1.2m. The overall length of the tomb is 39m. When first recorded in the 19th century, the cairn was clearly almost rectangular, and stood almost 1.2m high, the body of the cairn being revetted behind post-and-panel walling. The walling, most of the cairn material, and some of the orthostats forming the forecourt were removed in the middle of the 19th century for house building. A few flints and some sherds of Neolithic pottery were found in the chambers.

Large quantities of prehistoric worked flint, said to number in the thousands, have been observed and collected at Cass ny Hawin.  Material has been observed at various points along the coastal periphery of Ordnance Survey Field no. 2969, and also as a result of ploughing.  The site is now affected by quarrying. Two trial excavations were undertaken by Gelling and Cubbon in 1973 prior to an extension of quarrying in the vicinity. No significant discoveries were made, but an adjoining area to the east requires similar investigation.

An Iron Age or early medieval promontory fort which may have been occupied in the 5th - 6th century AD. It is situated on a natural promontory above the Santon River. It utilises almost vertical drops to the north and west for protection and is defended to the south and east by an earthwork rampart with a maximum internal height of 1.7 metres. An outer ditch on the landward side is now almost ploughed out, but the remaining portion has a maximum width of 5.0 metres. The maximum depth from the outer lip is 1.1 metres with the drop from the top of the periphery bank 2.5 metres. The bank has several probably modern breaks on the landward side but no original entrance could be detected. The fort is grass-covered and no trace of internal habitations was found.

Medieval longhouse. Prior to investigation in 1957, there were clear surface indications of a building in the interior of the fort, but excavation proved it to be rectangular and orientated NW-SE, with bowed walls and internal measurements of 7.5m by 4m. There was a possible entrance 2m wide in the south-east corner, but no trace of stonework. Another possible entrance pierced the wall on the north-east, though this lay perilously close to the cliff edge. Apart from a few postholes for support for the roof and entrance, little else survived to indicate the construction of the walls, which seem to have been of earth and turf. There was a rudimentary raised bench along each long wall and at the west gable, formed by cutting down into the bedrock in the centre of the building. There were also signs of a central hearth, though this took the form of burnt material rather than a built structure. The excavator believed that the house represented Medieval reoccupation of the site.

Medieval watch place. The rudimentary construction of the medieval building, the lack of a hearth structure and the paucity of domestic rubbish has led to the site's reinterpretation as a place from which a coastal watch was kept - 'watch and ward' - and did not serve a domestic purpose.

Prehistoric flint scatter. A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Cass Struan by CH Cowley. No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the point at which the watercourse reaches the beach 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.

The original square stone building of the Castle Mona Hotel consisted of two three storey wings front and back joined by a two storey 'link' of similar plan size. The flat roofs of the wings are concealed behind parapets decorated with roundels and garland motifs except over the entrance where castellations indicate the substantial protruding porch with its columns and wrought iron balustrade to a flat roof. The central link has a slate pitched roof visible through a castellated parapet. The well proportioned rectangular windows decrease in their vertical dimension with each succeeding storey but receive the same treatment on all elevations of the structure. The building is crowned by a circular castellated tower rising from the rear of the main facades toward Douglas bay. A recent extension to the sea creates a large terrace with wrought iron balustrade on the roof of the single storey alteration which is fronted by shops onto the main pavement of the Cresent. No interior inspection has been made. Although the developments of the promenades at Douglas has detracted from the siting of Castle Mona by leaving it behind the main visual facade, the building is still impressive both for its quality of architecture and its historic significance as the early residence of the Duke of Atholl (Governor General of the island 1793-1830).

Castle Rushen is a medieval castle in Castletown, one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Europe. It served as the seat of government for the Lords of Mann and the residence of the Governor, and was the principal garrison of the Island. William Christian (Illiam Dhone) was held and tried within its walls before his execution at nearby Hango Hill in 1663.

The royal castle at Castletown, seat of the Lords of Mann since the Norse period. A limestone fortress that has served as royal residence, garrison, prison, and seat of government across eight centuries. The castle the Lords held, the Governors occupied, and the Crown inherited. Its continuous use across every period of the Island's history makes it the physical thread connecting the Norse kings to the modern Crown dependency.

For much of the 19th century (1813-91) the keep was the focus of prison activity whilst the castle served as the Island's main gaol. Major alterations included the insertion of a stairwell within the SW corner and various breaches through the walls to reach new accommodation blocks and exercise yards constructed within the inner bailey. Some of these changes were restored once the castle ceased to be a prison, during a restoration programme conducted under Lt Governor Lord Raglan between 1904-10.

Medieval mantlet. The keep was strengthened in the first half of the 14th century by the addition of a drawbridge and mantlet protecting an entrance facing north and inland along the west bank of the Silverburn. It is thought that a small bailey may have been attached, which is reflected in the layout of nearby streets in the modern town.

Medieval gatehouse. The gatehouse was added in the mid- to late- 14th century, as part of the gradual development of a curtain wall circuit around the keep.
