Six (or more) figure grid references for a vast array of sites have been
out there on the Internet for a number of years available through
organisations such as the ADS (Archsearch 350,000 records) and the
RCAHMS (Canmore 150,000).
So far there has been little to suggest that this has increased the
abuse of sites or raised concerns amongst landowners. Indeed there are
arguments that raising public awareness of the existence of sites
affords their only real chance of protection.
