Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered at Ballabooie by CH Cowley on several different occasions, from a field he named as 'Bully Mooar Shiar'.


The site has not been positively identified, but must lie close to Bully Mooar (see PRN 0912) and the grid reference relates to the latter site 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.
