Battlesites are different, they are still around in some way. You can still go to a field and there'll be sign saying "The Battle of X took place here", so it's a valid thing to map. That's not the same as an old road that has been dug up and is now someone's back garden. > > There is a festival near me that lasts for 1 1/2 weeks each year.

That sounds like a good idea. The permanent features should be mapped for sure. Some sort of disused tag sounds like a the right thing to do. Rory
