This collection brings together evidence from official heritage indexes. It is a starting point for reading the landscape, not a complete inventory or a list of visitor attractions. Source names may describe surviving structures, former features or larger complexes. Current condition and permission to visit require separate checks.

The most represented themes here are underground (92 records). Counts reflect the selection method and recording coverage, not the historical prevalence of each structure.
