Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Sour Close Stream by CH Cowley.


The stream drains from Knockaloe Moar, and in the absence of a more detailed description the grid reference relates to a point midway along its course from the main landholding to the River Neb, 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.
