Also recorded as: Ballaslig find; Ballamona hoard record
What the evidence supports
IOMHER describes finds beginning around 1839 and a later coin received in 1978, possibly corresponding to the record called the Ballamona hoard. It does not support the old site's claim that a 200-coin hoard was found here in 1978, and the map generalizes the private field.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 800 m. Rounded locality around the IOMHER field record; the exact private-field 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.

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.
