Peel Hill Flint Scatter
Archaeology
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Peel Hill by CH Cowley, from the 'Old Fort'.
This would appear to relate to the vicinity of Aston's Battery, and the grid reference relates to the earthwork for indicative purposes only.
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.
