Kew, Giants Grave
Archaeology
Prehistoric flint scatter.
A single worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Kew by CH Cowley, from the '2nd Field along road from Kew road (over hedge from Giant's Stones)'.
The description relates to the western part of the former OS Field no. 2045, which is now 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.
