Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballawyllin by CH Cowley, from the 'Field Beyond Bridge'.


The description could refer to either OS Field no. 2105 or 1940. The grid reference is centred on the main road lying between the fields 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.
