The Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) is a record of all known archaeological and historic sites in Herefordshire. This computerised version of the SMR's monuments database gives a summary description of each site and a list of the sources of information used to compile it. Where archaeological work has been carried out at a specific site, this is also recorded.

This database complements the SMR monuments database, and allows you to search for information on historic field-names and landowners for the county. Most of the field-names in the database come from the tithe maps, which date to the years around 1840. The names were collected by the Herefordshire Field-Name Survey (organised by members of the Archaeological Research Section of the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club between 1987 and 1993) from the original maps and surveys held in Herefordshire Record Office. The general editor of the Survey was Ruth E. Richardson.
