Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Lhergydhoo by CH Cowley, from 'Upper Moore's'.


The description is a vague reference to the extensive area of land forming part of Lhergydhoo lying on the Lhergydhoo and Knocksharry 'tops'. It is not possible to relocate the findspot and 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.
