Useful websites
Without doubt the best online resource that I found for researching prehistoric sites, both in Britain and mainland Europe is The Modern Antiquarian and therefore it is top of my list. Not only is the information generally very accurate it has also been the answer to many questions I have had as the collective depth of knowledge held by those who contribute is astounding.
