Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Peel Cemetery by CH Cowley, from the 'Camel Field near Cemetery'.


The artefact was found by Cowley's son, who may have been responsible for the description of the field, which otherwise would suit OS Field no. 2105. The field 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.
