Archaeology

Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from the Poortown Road by CH Cowley, from 'Thallooquayle Hedge, Poortown Road'.


Thallooquayle fronts on to the Poortown Road for a distance of 250m. The grid reference marks the mid point 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.
