But the way in which HER information is made available to the public is perhaps a separate issue to the right of an authority to collect that information for its own use. Did you have to remove the records completely or only from the web version of the HER? Sounds like at least your police are well informed and pro-active...! Rachel Grahame Archaeologist (HER) Tees Archaeology ________________________________________ From: Alison Bennett at Place Services [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 07 February 2013 10:28 Subject: Re: HER permissions We had to remove monument records from our database after information on the HER guided some illegal metal detectorists to a site, where they were caught in the act by a passing policeman. The landowner threatened to sue us for putting information on the internet which could be located to his land. It took a great deal of personal negotiation by the then county archaeologist to avoid this, but we had to remove all records from the land owned by this person.
