- The page says scan scores indicate signal strength, not the probability that a location is an archaeological site.
Field notes
The interface includes separate filters for record source, geometry, date certainty, and location quality, alongside named Irish heritage datasets and historical-map collections. Its reference library is marked experimental: V2 is shown for diagnostics, while classification remains on LEGACY_REFERENCE_V1 because the current benchmark does not justify switching; the page reports zero active patterns.
