Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Mount Karrin by CH Cowley.


It is possible that Cowley was drawn to this locality by the presence of the well-preserved burial mound (PRN 0452). No further details concerning the circumstances of the discovery were recorded and the grid reference relates to the vicinity of the mound 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.
