Defender:
You could try Demon Tweeks. They do a range of Battery Isolation devices.
The best place to mount it would be in the front of the passenger seat box so the cables can be connected to the rear of it in the battery box.
You will need to get a short length of cable made up to link the battery to the isolator. Then connect the cable that goes to the starter solenoid to the other terminal.

Freelander1980:
When you look at one, make sure you are getting one that cuts everything, a friend bought one, wired it all up started the engine and with a big grin flicked it expecting it to cut everything out  and then it dawned he had got an isolator not a cut off switch (if that all makes sense)

Range Rover Blues:
An isolator on the battery will prevent it form starting or being bump-started  but as he says not jump started.  You can also get ones with a 5 amp fuse to keep the closk going but if someone tries to start it the fuse blows.  These are a good idea because it's then not as obvious that the battery is isolated 'till they try.

Also make sure your alarm is then wired direct to the battery.
