Archaeology
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballagyr by CH Cowley from 'Cain's Lower Fields'.
The area has not been positively re-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.
