As a side note, you can use taginfo.openstreetmap.org to get usage 
figures for these tags, e.g.

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/historic%3Acivilization#values

It doesn't have a specific count for the UK but it does have a "map" tag 
(which seems to indicate very few isolated uses in the UK).
