Also recorded as: Ronaldsway Settlement; Ronaldsway type-site
What the evidence supports
The site was discovered in 1943 while Ronaldsway airfield was being extended and could receive only rapid salvage excavation. It is within an operational airport landscape, so the public map generalizes the record and does not invite a site visit.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 500 m. Rounded and generalized around the IOMHER record within the operational airport landscape.
Geometry provenance: Privacy-generalised area. The source context has been deliberately broadened to avoid publishing a sensitive findspot.
Why this public geometry is safe: The area is a generalized IOMHER context within an operational airport. It is not a public monument position, visitor destination, access route or navigation point.

Access is not implied
Operational airport land; there is no public archaeological access and this record must not be used for navigation.
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
Protected archaeology; Operational airport; No public access
