Raby
Archaeology
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Raby by CH Cowley, from the 'Gyn Field'.
The possible remains of a horsewalk are located against the south wall of a barn at Raby farm, which suggests that this description could relate to OS field no. 0831, which is centred at the grid reference provided.
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.
