Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The authors describe the creation of a computer-readable database of spatially-referenced information from the SMR of the HMBB of the DoE NI. The SMR has a total of roughly 14,000 sites from the six counties of Northern Ireland. The authors have digitised Irish Grid References (IGRs) for these sites from the County Series Six Inch maps of NI, and created a database which includes these IGR coordinates plus site classifications and townland names. Information is tabulated about the distribution of the sites, the precision with which their locations are recorded and the systems used for archaeological classification (including frequency of different classes). The resultant data are appropriate for investigation using GIS. Maps are presented of all the sites and of crannogs, souterrains, air photograph sites, ringforts (raths and enclosures), multivallate raths, ecclesiastical sites and megalithic sites. The implications are briefly discussed, recognising both factors which genuinely determined original location and also modern and ancient factors which have biased the distributions. Proposals for future study are outlined. `Appendix A: the NI SMR of HMBB' (176--7), is followed by `Appendix B' (178). | ||
