Also recorded as: Douglas 1846 hoard
What the evidence supports
The IOMHER record reconstructs a find described as 'many' coins, only eight of which can now be linked firmly to the hoard. The rounded area identifies a documented historic urban context; its centre is not an exact findspot and it does not claim that the building or deposit survives.
Location and precision
Approximate area · radius 150 m. Rounded 150-metre historical urban context centred near the IOMHER position for Seneschal Lane (0246.00), not an exact findspot.
Why this public geometry is safe: The official record supports a historic urban locality, so the public map rounds it to a 150-metre area rather than publishing the reconstructed point.

Access is not implied
Historic urban record only; observe current property boundaries and do not assume any remains survive.
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
