Apologies for cross-posting
The Archaeology Data Service (ADS,)in conjunction with Environment and
Heritage Service (part of Department of the Enviroment Northern
Ireland), is delighted to announce that an on-line version of the
Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record is now available through the
ADS catalogue at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/
The SMR contains over 14,000 references to the archaeology of Northern
Ireland and will have particular relevance to researchers interested in
the Irish Sea zone (Ireland, Isle of Man, NW England, Scotland and
Wales). As examples, there is a wealth of data about crannogs,
souterrains and early monastic sites.
A new spatial descriptor has been introduced for use with a 'Where
Search'. The 'Townland' still has a strong cultural significance in many
parts of Britain and Ireland and will be an essential search term for
these areas.
