Congary Brooghs Flint Scatter
Archaeology
The site of a Mesolithic flint scatter which included both heavy blade and microlithic type material. This includes scattered microlithic flints, possibly related to the Fenella Hotel site, and some Mesolithic 'Bann' material, found at 'The Congary'. The finds were made over a period of years by local Peel antiquary Charles 'Harry' Cowley.
The precise findspot of Cowley's material is unknown, but is unlikely to have been on the golfcourse, which was founded in 1895. This is reflected in the location of the grid reference for indicative purposes on neighbouring farmland overlooking the River Neb.
