Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Raby by CH Cowley, from the 'Brooghs'.


The coastal edge of Raby is just one field wide - OS Field no. 0634 - and the grid reference provided refers to the midpoint of the westerly edge of the field 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.
