It looks like they've compiled all HERs in to one digitised map. Really interesting to check out archaeology that you didn't know existed in your local area.

What's an HER?
Historic Environment Records.
All ? really "some" might be a better pronoun
Fair enough not all, but many areas have not fully digitised their records so gaps missing. But a pretty decent amount of records are there.
their records so gaps missing
Luckily for me a lot of the more interesting (archaeologically complicated) chunks of the Peak District are missing. That website is a rabbit hole I could disappear into for months. From a quick look it shows that a lot of the local history books are well wide of the mark.
Cheers OP. Great link.
this is the archaeological map not the NHLE or the HER/NRHE records.
Hope you enjoy!
I've posted before but another great site for those in the South West is; http://www.kypwest.org.uk/
Useful. Hard to view for my area where where developers are on a free for all. With 1957 open planning. Just lost 40 Acres of woodland and we have no say :(. Dry Bummed.
I do like an old map. I've found quite a few nice ones for our bit of Wales on the National Library of Scotlands website. https://maps.nls.uk/ They have a great side by side viewer to compare now and then and the outline finder is handy to see all the maps available.
Brilliant, thanks.
Coincidentally, just re-reading The History of the Countryside by Rackham. I'm still amazed that ancient ridge and furrow field boundaries are exactly the same in 2021.
