[Talk-GB] Mapping archaeology in towns

[Dave F]

 From a quick check it appears she's also added them to OpenHistoricalMap
http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/user/Syvanne%20Aloni/history#map=10/51.5232/-2.1934&layers=H
I'll wait a day or so, to see if she adds any more, then I'll revert her 
changesets from OSM.
