Site locations
Locations of the sites are indicated by conventional National Grid References, for purposes of filing and data retrieval. SSSI boundaries are only fully defined on maps which are filed with the site documents. 4 or 6 figure references, of the whole site or the main feature, are cited as appropriate; some caves are cited only by their main or sole entrance. References linked by dashes define lines of features or the approximate extents of very large sites. References separated by commas define individual features grouped into the same site.
