Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.

Hey Tor. It appears in 14 of the old books and papers in our research library, so the name has not always been written the way we write it now.
