What the evidence supports
MNH describes an exceptionally large thistle brooch and a plaited gold arm-ring within a single high-status deposition. MNH explicitly states that the location and landowner will remain confidential, so this record carries no geometry whatsoever.
Location and precision
Location withheld. Location explicitly confidential in the official MNH source; no public point or area is provided.
Why no public geometry is published: The source location is withheld from the deployable dataset.
No coordinates published
Location explicitly confidential in the official MNH source; no public point or area is provided.
Access is not implied
Find location confidential; view the assemblage through MNH rather than attempting to identify the site.
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.
