Also recorded as: 1772 Ballaugh hoard
What the evidence supports
Only a small number of coins can now be associated with confidence, and the eighteenth-century locality is imprecise. The map therefore shows a broad historical area rather than manufacturing a precise findspot.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 1.4 km. Rounded broad area derived from the IOMHER 'near Ballaugh' record; historical location is imprecise.
Why this public geometry is safe: The historical findspot has been rounded to the stated uncertainty and does not imply access or a searchable target.

Access is not implied
Historical findspot only; no public access is implied. Do not enter private land, disturb the ground or treat this record as a search target.
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
Historical findspot; Private land
