What the evidence supports
Modern scientific work revisited material from the 1947 excavation and recognised worked-bone objects whose significance had been overlooked. The named farm is a burial context and the cited article does not establish public access, so the record explains the result without publishing map geometry.
Location and precision
Location withheld. No public geometry: named farm burial context; no public access is evidenced.
Geometry provenance: Location withheld. No public geometry is published because the location is sensitive.
Why no public geometry is published: The source location is withheld from the deployable dataset.
No coordinates published
No public geometry: named farm burial context; no public access is evidenced.
Access is not implied
Named farm burial context; no public access is evidenced. Consult MNH publications and collections rather than attempting a site visit.
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.
