Ballawyllin, Struan ny Kirka
Archaeology
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Ballawyllin by CH Cowley, from 'Struan ny Kirka'.
The location refers to the fields along the east bank of the watercourse. In the absence of further details, the grid reference relates to the road bridge for indicative purposes.
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.
