Users of the Suffolk Heritage Explorer website should be aware that there is a backlog of information that has not yet been entered into the Suffolk Historic Environment Record and that the information on the Suffolk Heritage Explorer may be incomplete for a number of reasons compared to that held at Suffolk Historic Environment Record. As the information was compiled from a number of sources, users may find that information on a particular site is split between several records, or duplicated on more than one record, and that some records are incomplete. We are undertaking a programme of record checking and enhancement to address these issues.

Definitive information on designated sites, including Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings and Registered Parks and Gardens should be obtained from Historic England.

Definitive information on Conservation Areas should be obtained from the relevant district councils.

The inclusion of a site or monument within the Suffolk Heritage Explorer cannot be taken to mean or imply that there is public right of access, or that access permission will be granted upon request.

Users of the website are requested to inform, and to make their research available to the Suffolk HER where new archaeological sites or data are discovered as a result of their work.
