By taking out a subscription your search results will be enhanced with a distribution map of all the sites from your search. This has been designed to enable you to quickly see the most interesting archaeological zones in your areas of interest. Further, the GPS co-ordinates of the sites shown from your search plus aerial photographs and modern road maps showing the position of the site on the ground are given. You will also be able to view the location of the site on older maps (19th Century, mid-20th century) - invaluable it you want gain a deeper understanding of the historical landscape in the area of the site.

The precise locations (as GPS co-ordinates and marked on maps) of tens of thousands of Prehistoric, Roman, Iron Age / Celtic sites, Bronze Age, Saxon and Medieval sites and later sites are listed in the UK database. Plus there are links to road maps and aerial photographs showing the location of the sites on the ground.

Many beautiful and historically significant coins & artefacts and previously unknown ancient sites have already been found and reported by field walkers and metal detectorists who have used the ARCHI iUK database for their research.

By subscribing to ARCHI UK you automatically gain quick and easy access to information on more than 200,000+ UK archaeological sites.

Each record includes the map reference (co-ordinate) of each site with a link to a road map and an aerial photograph.

In addition, the database also holds data on archaeologically significant field names and place-names from historical records such as the Tithe Apportionment lists and ancient documents. It is believed that ARCHI UK is the only database where this information can be searched via Postcodes, Places and Co-ordinates and accessed within an archaeological context.

The ARCHI UK database (Archaeological Sites Index) contains details of sites mentioned in rare books and archaeological reports / surveys which are not easily found outside specialist libraries.

The 200,000+ UK archaeological sites listed in the ARCHI UK (ARCHI UK) database come from published sources such as hundreds of archaeological reports, county archaeological journals, findspots reported by archaeologists, fieldwalkers and metal detectorists and treasure hunters who have previously reported their finds while treasure hunting. The data from a search links to aerial photographs of sites enabling you to view many fascinating cropmarks and pinpoint the exact locations of the sites recorded in the database on the ground. The field-name data is of special interest because it can lay the ground for the discovery of previously unknown historic and ancient sites and further our knowledge and understanding of Britain's history.

There is continuous work on the development of new technical features designed to further simplify the the identification and location of existing and new archaeological sites in the UK.

Further, every record is has direct links to an aerial photograph, a local road map showing the position of the site and also to a 19th Century Map showing the area of the site as it was.

Note that public access to this database is not available anywhere else. Also, you will be able to gain access to any new information for one year when it is added to the database for no extra cost.
