Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint and a coarse stone axehead were recovered from Ballakaighen by CH Cowley, from the 'Big Stone Field'.


The stone referred to would appear to be that located in OS Field no. 0303, 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.
