Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Sandhouse by CH Cowley, from the 'Field SW Ballalough Curragh'.


The description appears to clearly relate to OS Field nos 2113 and 2114, which have long been amalgamated. The grid reference relates to the centre of the two former fields.


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.
