What the evidence supports

MNH records English and Irish issues, including Dublin coins of Sihtric Silkbeard, and dates abandonment to shortly before AD 1070. The official announcement states only that the find was on private land, so no geometry is published.

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.
