What the evidence supports
The project report says the geophysical results identified a stone ring that informed the 2017 excavation interpretation. This is evidence of archaeological GPR on the island, but the area is a research and burial landscape rather than a public search location.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 300 m. Rounded project locality shown as an area rather than a private burial-site or anomaly-level point.
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.

Rounded project locality shown as an area rather than a private burial-site or anomaly-level point.
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
