Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballagyr by CH Cowley, from the 'Left Field Going to Shore'.


The description would appear to relate to one of three fields (OS Field nos. 0943, 0994 and 0995) sloping down to the watercourse which reaches the shore at Cass Struan at SC26258525, but in the absence of a positive re-identification, 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.
