What the evidence supports
The IOMHER account says most coins were melted down and places the historical deposition around AD 995. The broad upland description cannot support a precise pin, so the public map uses a wide contextual area only.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 1.2 km. Rounded broad area derived from the IOMHER historic upland record; not a reconstructed exact 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.

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; Upland archaeology
