Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballakilmurray by CH Cowley, from the 'Field next to Glebe'.


The description appears to relate to the eastern portion of what was formerly OS Field no. 1125, prior to the construction of the railway line, and 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.
