Ancient Britain’s sites, monuments and related museums overprinted on a large, double-sided present day map of the country at 1:625,000 from the Ordnance Survey, plus numerous panels, maps and photos providing extensive additional information.

The base map has altitude colouring to indicate the topography and shows the present day road network. Symbols arranged according to the period (Palaeo/Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze, Iron, Roman, and Medieval to 1066) and use (civil, defence, domestic, industrial, religious/ritual, and funerary/burial) show locations of the sites. Also marked are related museums, as well as linear works and trackways. The map is overprinted with British National Grid.

Surrounding the map are numerous panels providing further information including contact details of relevant organizations, photos, drawings and profiles, a glossary of archaeological terms, a chronological table placing British events in a wider historical context, reading recommendations, etc. Many panels describing important archaeological remains are accompanied by extracts from OS Landranger maps at 1:50,000 showing their exact location.

The map has been compiled by the national heritage bodies maintained by Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. Publications date of this edition: February 2016.
