What the evidence supports
The original pieces entered the British Museum after the nineteenth-century discovery. The former website pin was more than 26 kilometres away; this replacement is a deliberately broad public area around the IOMHER locality, not the findspot.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 1.5 km. Rounded broad locality derived from the IOMHER record; the exact source point is not present in public data.
Geometry provenance: Privacy-generalised area. The source context has been deliberately broadened to avoid publishing a sensitive findspot.
Why this public geometry is safe: The historical findspot has been rounded to the stated uncertainty and does not imply access or a searchable target.

Rounded broad locality derived from the IOMHER record; the exact source point is not present in public data.
Access is not implied
Historical findspot only; no public access is implied. Do not enter private land, disturb the ground or treat this record as a search target.
Legal note
On the Isle of Man, metal-detector use in a protected area requires written Manx National Heritage consent, and digging or excavation on any land to search for archaeological objects requires an MNH licence. Landowner permission alone is not enough.
