Historic Environment Records

Please use the region based alphabetical listing to find the contact details for your local Historic Environment Record. You can also use the clickable map.

N.B. Historic Environment Records (sometimes referred to as Sites and Monuments Records) may be held by County Councils, District Councils or Unitary Authorities. In each case, the record will cover the whole of the local authority area. Selected major historic towns and cities are covered by Urban Archaeological Databases (UADs). In many cases, UADs are held as part of, and are accessible via, the local Historic Environment Record. Where there is a separately-held UAD, this is represented by its own entry in the list and a separate dot on the map.
