Sites and Monuments Record Database

The SMR is a record of all known historical sites in Herefordshire. Each site has a unique reference number (its SMR number), a site name and location, a brief description and a list of references to the site. The strength of the record is that it is a computerised database. This means the searcher can query the database for combinations (e.g. all Iron Age sites in the parish of Garway, information about the castle at Weobley) and obtain instant results. The speed and ability to query the database makes the SMR a powerful research tool.

For further information about the SMR or to search the database, visit the website (see box below). The website has been developed through the Historic Herefordshire On Line project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and features on-line entries on a number of historical topics, as well as providing access to the database. There is also a database on field names from a project developed in partnership with the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club.
