Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Thalloo Quayle by CH Cowley, from the 'Field next to Stream'.


This description could relate to one of several fields on the east side of the landholding, all of which are bounded by a stream. The grid reference relates to the cottage 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.
