Peel Castle

The public castle and cathedral complex on St Patrick's Isle at Peel.

What the evidence supports

IOMHER records the medieval cathedral of St German and the later curtain wall and gatehouse that protected St Patrick's Isle. The map shows a small area around the official public monument centre, representing the visitor-site context rather than an artefact findspot or the precise extent of every archaeological phase.

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.
