Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballacallin by CH Cowley, from an area he identified as 'Ballacallin Brooghs'.


The quarterland fam of Ballacallin is one field wide at the point at which it meets the coast, and so the location would appear to refer to OS Field no. 0247, which is centred at the grid reference provided.


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.
