Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Peel Headlands by CH Cowley, from the 'Stack Field'.


The description could relate to either OS Field no. 0827 or 0829. The grid reference relates to the mid point of the hedge separating the two fields.


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.
