Search on for 'lost' battlefields of England

A major new project is underway to rediscover the "lost" battlefields of England dating back to the Roman invasion and preserve what is left of them (if they arn't already under a carpark or housing estate). It is thought there could be as many as 450 battlefields out there somewhere but Battlefields Trust and English Heritage are aiming to discover the exact location of around 100 and document them on an on-line register. These sites will then have custodians to keep an eye on the battlefield site and promote it to the local community.
