Peterborough's Historic Environment Record,
formerly known as Sites and Monuments Record, is the definitive
record of the
known archaeological remains within the boundaries of
Peterborough Unitary Authority. It digitally maintains three types
of record, monuments of all periods (from finds’ spots to
earthworks), events (investigative fieldwork such as excavations or
surveys) and sources/archives. The database can be digitally
searched at http://her.peterborough.gov.uk/forms/homepage.aspx
and is geo-referenced in "Hawkeye",
the Peterborough City Council's interactive map. As well as
database records, it has physical archives that can be consulted
(historic maps, annotated maps, photographs and grey literature
reports).
The Historic Environment
Record is used internally by the Local Planning
Authority; by developers to ascertain the potential impact of
proposed developments on the historic environment; by farmers
seeking advice on agri-environmental schemes; by students and by
members of the general public.
The development of the Historic
Environment Record depends upon the co-operation of
professional archaeologists, local researchers and enthusiasts, as
suppliers of information.
