Peel Headlands near Baths

Archaeology

Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Peel Headlands by CH Cowley, from 'near Baths'.


The description would appear to relate to the area overlooking the former bathing pool whilst being distinct from the Creg Malin headland; the grid reference is provided 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.
