Shropshire Historic Environment Record
The Shropshire Historic Environment Record (HER), formerly the Shropshire Sites and Monuments Record, aspires to be a record of all the archaeological sites, finds and features, and historic buildings, structures and landscapes in the county. Monument Records (core records of prehistoric/historic sites, finds, buildings and structures) are uniquely identified by a Primary Reference Number (PRN)[1].
