Archaeology

The findspot of a flint scatter of Mesolithic or Neolithic date discovered by the antiquary Charles Harry Cowley. The exact circumstances and location of the find are unknown, but it included artefacts such as a knife, arrowhead, spearheads and scrapers, 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.
