The Emperor Constantine seems to have known what he was doing in choosing the sites of the St. Peter and St. Paul basilicas -- I bet he was on the mark also with the site of the Holy Sepulchre!

Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre has the archaeological evidence on its side too.

I am an amateur archeology buff. The Byzantines were very good about finding the Christian holy sites, and so far most of them have held up to scrutiny.
Helna's visions have been shown to be pretty accurate so far!

While I'm not sure if Constantine was right about everything, a substantial amount of non-Biblical information about Biblical events likely did get passed down through word of mouth for centuries (and still is, in the form of local folklore) that may contain accurate information that was never recorded in the Bible. Of coruse it's also possible that some made up information is being passed along, too. For that reason, I don't discount the folklore that identified a lot of these places and remains but I also don't necessarily believe it's proof, either.
