A portion of the battlefield is free of development, so it's slightly better preserved than
The Alamo, where only a few of the buildings remain, overshadowed by surrounding hotels (though the Menger Hotel is a historic building in its own right ... by American standards, not European standards).
Just a note. That battle was 1314. And battlefield sized memorials is still fairly new in the grand sense of time. Land was for the use of the living.
But we're getting off topic.
