National Curriculum Key Stage 3 History: A local history study: an aspect or site in local history dating from a period before 1066.
The Signposts to Prehistory provide up-to-date, authoritative information about various types of prehistoric site. They can be used as aids for site visits or as sources of information, much of which is otherwise only to be found in academic journals, for anyone from students to enthusiasts.
All relate to lesser known, publically accessible locations with prehistoric monuments that have escaped plough destruction. Information about other publicly accessible, high profile sites is readily available at: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/learn/histories/prehistoric-monuments, and lists of local sites can be found at: www.schoolsprehistory.co.uk/category/places-to-visit.
