A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Snuff the Wind by CH Cowley.


The name is locally used for the area surrounding the Cross Vein mine. In the absence of more precise details, the grid reference is that of the Cross Vein mine and is provided 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.
