Initially the Merseyside Local Heritage List will not be looking for open sites with archaeological potential as these will be captured in other ways such as through the planning process. However, buildings with potential to reveal evidence about traditional building methods and materials, or about past human activity would be considered.
Inclusion under this category is likely to be closely associated with age and/or rarity, though strong historical connection to notable persons or events may feature.
If you are aware of an open site that may have archaeological potential, you can check if it is recorded on the Historic Environment Record, or advise the Merseyside team by visiting the Heritage Gateway website.
