Bellellis Flint Scatter
Archaeology
The findspot of a major concentration of Neolithic Ronaldsway type flints and stone artefacts, though to potentially represent an habitation site. These were found at a site recorded as 'Long Field', Bellellis, by Cowley, but the site has been lost and not been relocated. Amongst the artefacts found were a Ronaldsway roughened-butt axehead given the the Manx Museum by Cowley in 1946 (Accession No. 1971-0183/19). A second axehead, probably from this site, is still in private possession. Also found here was a Neolithic/Bronze Age pounder or hammer consisting of a smoothly rounded sandstone boulder with one end abraded, also donated to the museum by Cowley (Accession No. 1954-1629).
