Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballabooie by CH Cowley, from a field which he identified as the 'Upper Field from Bog opposite Cowin-Kaighen'.


The field has not been positively identified and 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.
