ABSTRACT
Many thousands of archaeological sites are known in Britain solely from AP evidence. These range from isolated simple ring-ditches to complex multi-period landscapes of several hectares in extent containing numerous enclosures, trackways, field systems and linear features. The date and archaeological significance of many of these sites is unknown and will remain so, perhaps always but certainly until further information from excavation, fieldwalking, geophysical survey or more detailed aerial evidence is attained. In an attempt to record, describe and classify this huge body of material in a standardised manner that makes it accessible and useful, the RCHME (now English Heritage) developed MORPH (Edis et al. 1989; Bewley 1993: 203).
