Prehistoric flint scatter.


A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Whitestrand by CH Cowley, from the 'Field last on left of road under Knocksharry'.


This would appear to be an alternative name for 'Tommy's Field' (see PRN 3453), OS Field no. 0251, which is centred at the grid reference provided.


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.
