Prehistoric flint scatter.


A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from 'Thomas Liza's' by CH Cowley.


This description relates to the western part of the former OS Field no. 1006, whuich was subdivided following the construction of the railway line. The field is centred at the grid reference provided. Thomas Liza lived in the cottage which formerly stood at the most westerly corner of the field next to the main road.


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.
