Selected National Heritage Dataset (SNHD)

The Selected National Heritage Dataset (SNHD) is a dataset of selected archaeological sites in England used by Natural England to pre-populate the maps that are sent to farmers applying for Entry Level Stewardship (ELS)

To assist members and others who use the SNHD, ALGAO has produced a number of documents which can be downoaded:

Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England (SHINE)

ALGAO, Natural England and English Heritage are currently working towards the development of a methodology that will help produce a dataset of historic environment features that will replace the SNHD. Work to create the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England (SHINE) dataset is due to commence in Autumn 2008.
