  Sites and Monuments Record
The SMR is used alongside policy documents and research frameworks to provide the important background against which to view and analyse evidence of the past in Northamptonshire, and so helps to formulate conservation and planning advice for the county.
The SMR is a public service provided by the county council and is available to anyone researching the history and archaeology of the county.
Use of the SMR is free to all members of the public, schools and researchers.

 Archaeology and Forestry in Ireland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The list of sites and accompanying maps are exhibited 'in a prescribed manner in each county' and the onus is on the landowner (or occupier) to be informed of the existence of Recorded sites on their land (ibid, Section 12.2).
SMRs, which have been compiled for all 26 counties, are preliminary listings of known archaeological features in a county, and they act as the basis for incorporating the results of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland into the Record of Monuments.
Archaeological sites and monuments which are known to exist, or to have existed, are included in the SMR for the county in which they occur.

 Archaeology in Wales - Archaeoleg CAMBRIA Archaeology
The distribution and topographical siting of all the monuments in west Carmarthenshire, and with round barrows and standing stones in particular, showed that the locations of these monuments were very carefully chosen, and for a variety of reasons.
Many of these monuments were sited in prominent positions: not only with commanding views out over the rest of the landscape, but the sites (or their locations) could equally be seen from other points in the landscape.
A further 215 sites were recorded from place-name evidence alone, 65 from documentary sources alone, 4 sites were recorded as buried features, 3 sites as landforms and 67 sites are known to have been destroyed.

 Sites and Monuments Records and Historic Buildings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In Sites and Monuments Records, one of the best examples of this approach is the mainframe computer system developed in North Yorkshire County Council.
Where buildings are accessioned to the record, this is normally as the result of previous recording by the Ordnance Survey or as the result of a particular thematic survey.
Although many SMRS have no restrictions on the date range of sites they record, some have “cut-off” dates of the late medieval period, AD1700 or AD1900; in each case, this would automatically exclude a substantial number of listed buildings, as well as industrial structures.

 MARS: Monuments at Risk Survey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The national and field survey programmes have been designed to quantify the recorded and extant elements of the resource, the latter by means of a sampling strategy and the former through counts and cross counts of all sites and monuments record entries.
Since their establishment, sites and monuments records have also undertaken work to enhance the scope and content of individual records through various means.
In due course, these records can be cross-related back to original data sources and will form the basis for forthcoming analysis of the state of the extant archaeological resource and how it has changed over the last 50 years.
