Peel Hill
Archaeology
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A significant quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Peel Hill by CH Cowley, 'by the Silver Well'.
The Silver Well is an alternative name for St Patrick's Well, which lies on the west side of Corrin's Hill 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.
