Thanks Mike. Much appreciated.
I've downloaded the English heritage shapefiles for battles and scheduled monuments. The NMR battles file contains 44 records while the Battlefields Trust equivalent has 202 (some duplicates). The NMR scheduled monuments shapefile is not very useful for my purpose as it does not contain, for example, 'type' or 'name' or 'age' attributes, i.e. you can't meaningfully search or sort the database.
The English Heritage PastScapes site does allow meaningful searches on 'Legionary forts' 'Temporary camps' etc. and lists them all BUT you can't download the data as a collection of simple attributes, e.g. location, type, age etc..
Frustrating!
