Welcome to Archaeology UK the home of ARCHI, the fully-searchable database of the positions of more than 135,000 UK Archaeological sites available to search via the internet, Satellite Navigation Sytems (SatNav), Hand-held global positioning systems (GPS) and compatible mobile phones such as the Iphone.

Most of the sites in the database are linked to an aerial photograph of the site plus a local road map and many are also linked to Victorian Ordnance Survey maps.

The website also hosts our searchable database of UK place names and many other facilities such as an online gallery of subscribers' finds, glossary of archaeological terms, summary of British historical figures and events and a list of other websites useful to archaeologists and historians.
 

ARCHI: Find UK Archaeological Sites

You can use this search to locate UK Archaeological Sites. Sites can be found by by entering the name of the town nearest to your area of interest or by entering a national grid reference number of your area of interest.

You can also search for information on sites by their popular name (eg Camelot, Stonehenge, Maiden etc). Alternatively, you can search for sites of a particular type such as the Banjo Enclosures in Hampshire. Click HERE to go to the ARCHI search menu.

GPS / Sat Nav Points of Interest (POIs)

We are looking into the possibility of providing Archaeological Sites information data for the current generation of mobile information devices such as in-car Satelite Navigation Sytems and mobile telephones with locational knowledge built into them. The former will be as Points of Interest Files (POIs) and we are working on developments with the mobile telephone.

At present, we area able to provide one POI listing nearly a thousand loations of Prehistoric Rock Art in the UK. You can download this data for free HERE but please be kind and leave a donation via PayPal in return!

Placename
Finder 

Described by Dr Paul Cavill, Research Fellow at the English Place-Name Society as, 'one of the best resources for place-name researchers, archaeologists, local history people and others on the web'.

The gazetteer contains the names of more than 160,000 UK places and allows you to search for particular names and also for name elements.

Online
Glossary

Use this on-line glossary to find out more about those people and places and technical terms abounding the history and archaeology books.

You can either browse the glossary or perform an on-line search.

Apportionment Lists of Field Names

We are able to supply electronic versions of the 'Field Name Lists' created in the middle of the 19th century.

Known as 'Apportionment Lists' they are probably the most effective way of finding out new and undiscovered ancient archaeological sites!
