Also recorded as: 1997 Rushen Abbey geophysics
What the evidence supports
The archive catalogue confirms GPR use before the later excavation campaigns. The survey results are not fully published in the accessible catalogue, so this record confirms the method and place without inventing subsurface discoveries.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 140 m. Survey-site area centred on the documented Rushen Abbey precinct, not an anomaly point.
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.
54.0986, -4.6343
Survey-site area centred on the documented Rushen Abbey precinct, not an anomaly point.
Access is not implied
Survey-location context only; no access, repeat-survey or ground-disturbance permission is 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.
Sensitivity note
Survey area; Protected archaeology
