Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballabooie by CH Cowley, from an area which he identified as 'Ballabooie Glen'.


It is not clear if this refers to a specific field, or to the more general area in the base of the valley, and in the absence of further information, 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.
