Also recorded as: Round Mounds Archallagan survey
What the evidence supports
The project team's contemporary field update confirms the technique and survey context. Results were not published in that update, so the map identifies only a cautious survey area and explicitly avoids claiming anomalies or finds.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 300 m. Rounded public survey area around the documented Archallagan cairns; not a published GPR-grid centre.
Why this public geometry is safe: The public geometry is a broad project context, not the working grid, anomaly coordinates or permission to enter the site.
54.171, -4.600
Rounded public survey area around the documented Archallagan cairns; not a published GPR-grid centre.
Access is not implied
Survey-location context only; no access, repeat-survey or ground-disturbance permission is implied.
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
Survey area; Burial archaeology; Private land
