An area within which a Mesolithic flint scatter was found during extensive clearing of The Lhen Trench in the mid 1950s. Substantial quantities of Mesolithic 'Bann' flints were found in association with peat deposits at that time.
A feature described in the late 19th or early 20th century as consisting of large stones in alignment with possible earthwork remains appears to have been cleared away in modern times. It may well have been, at least partly, a natural feature associated with rock outcrops in the vicinity.
A feature described in the late 19th or early 20th century as consisting of large stones in alignment with possible earthwork remains appears to have been cleared away in modern times. There were seen 'many large stones set in lines, mound-like tumuli, and what appeared to be earthwork fortifications covering an extensive area'. It may well have been, at least partly, a natural feature associated with rock outcrops in the vicinity.

Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Lhergydhoo by CH Cowley.
No further details concerning 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.
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Lhergydhoo by CH Cowley, from the 'Second Curragh'.
The description relates to a group of waterlogged fields which were ploughed for the first time in 40 years during WW1, centred around OS Field nos 1147, 1148 and 1149, at the centre of which lies the grid reference provided.

This description relates to a group of fields, comprising around 50 acres, once owned by the French emigre Joseph Baume. The landholding was actually within the quaterland of Knocksharry, and was focussed on OS Field no. 0939, centred at the grid reference provided for indicative purposes.
