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 private findspot.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 1.5 km. Rounded broad locality derived from the IOMHER record; the exact private-land point is not present in public data.
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 private-land 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.
Sensitivity note
Historical findspot; Private land
