Description: Prehistoric flint scatter.
A small quantity of worked prehistoric flint was recovered from Jurby by CH Cowley, from 'Jurby Church Brooghs'.
The description refers to the area seaward of the parish church, centred at the grid reference provided. The coastline has since eroded back around 30metres since Cowley was active.
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.
