What the evidence supports

The planning report interprets building lines, probable roads, cellars and services, plus an anomaly described cautiously as tunnel-like. That wording does not prove a tunnel or treasure feature, and the map shows the survey footprint rather than a sensationalized target.

Location and precision

Approximate area · radius 60 m. Planning-site survey footprint represented by a 60-metre area around the report location.

Why this public geometry is safe: The public geometry is a broad project context, not the working grid, anomaly coordinates or permission to enter the site.

Access is not implied

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.
