Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballakaighen by CH Cowley, from the 'Field Below J Hogg's Big Stones'.


The site appears to be in the vicinity of the stone located at SC2885587195 in the corner of OS Field no. 0303, but in the absence of a positive 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.
