Use the description to record the narrative details of a Site — its physical setting, surface conditions, vegetation, visible features, how it was discovered, and any observations that help a colleague understand the place. Where structured fields like siteType, nrEligibility, and dateRange capture classifications, the description is room for the fuller story in plain language. It is optional, so a briefly recorded site might leave it empty while a thoroughly documented one keeps a detailed account here. Because it is plain text with no uniqueness or indexing tied to it, you can revise and expand it freely as fieldwork and analysis develop a richer understanding of the site.
