What the evidence supports
Ballavarry Neolithic Chambered Tomb is an entry in the archived Manx Treasure Map catalogue. The inherited identity, date and descriptive claims have not yet been confirmed against an authoritative heritage or wreck record. The location is shown only as a broad approximate archival context; it must not be read as an exact site or findspot.
Location and precision
Approximate location. Approximate area · radius 750 m. Generalised 750-metre area around an unverified archived catalogue coordinate; not an exact site or findspot.
Geometry provenance: Official-source context area. The area represents a public source context rather than an exact findspot.
Why this public geometry is safe: The legacy coordinate is unverified and therefore published only as a deliberately broad area, not a precise pin or activity target.

Access is not implied
No access is implied. Check ownership, public rights of way, protected status and current on-site notices before visiting.
Legal note
Metal-detector use in a protected area requires written Manx National Heritage consent. Digging or excavation to search for archaeological objects requires an MNH licence; landowner permission alone is not enough. Treasure Act reporting duties may also apply.
