What the evidence supports
Two surviving axeheads entered the Manx Museum; a third object reported from the same small area is lost. IOMHER's narrative provides unusually specific private-field directions, so the atlas withholds all deployable geometry rather than converting those directions into a target.
Location and precision
Location withheld. No public geometry: the official source describes a precise private-field context.
Why no public geometry is published: The source location is withheld from the deployable dataset.
No coordinates published
No public geometry: the official source describes a precise private-field context.
Access is not implied
Historical private-field record only; no visit, detecting or investigation is invited.
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
Location withheld; Historical findspot; Private land
