What the evidence supports
IOMHER records the hoard in the Peel Castle area but supplies no find-level point. The map therefore reuses a broad public visitor-site context centred on the castle; its centre is not a claim about where within the complex the coins were found.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 90 m. Public Peel Castle visitor-site context reused for an IOMHER record with no find-level point.
Why this public geometry is safe: The source identifies only the Peel Castle area, so the public geometry is a visitor-site context rather than a reconstructed findspot.

Access is not implied
Public visitor-site context only; check current opening information and do not investigate or disturb the monument.
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.
