Prehistoric flint scatter.


A very large quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from the 'Thistle Field' by CH Cowley.


This would appear to relate to OS Field no. 0867, which is centred at the grid reference provided. Additional finds are described as coming from 'Ballagyr Thistle Field' (see PRN 3102).


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.
