Yep, Invisible your memory serves you correctly - is about 4-5 big uns and that's before you start trying to live anywhere near Oxford!
From my Sheffield experience, we did get a module called post-ex in the 3rd year, when we learnt about basic law, smrs, english heritage, jobs, boxes (yes...boxes) in museums etc. So pretty good on that front, but not much actual practical visiting SMR etc. We were taught (v. briefly) how to write a desk-top report too... most people did quite badly I recall!
I think that the people who know they really want to get stuck in do it outside of uni anyway - volunteer on sites, get a commercial job in the hols, use the SMR for their dissertation etc.
