About this register

National Heritage List for England

The 20,000 scheduled monuments in this register are drawn from the National Heritage List for England. Each scheduled monument is a site formally recognised by law as being of national importance — protected against development, metal detecting, and unauthorised disturbance.

Scheduling is the primary mechanism by which England's archaeological heritage is protected. Sites range from Neolithic burial chambers and Bronze Age field systems to medieval castles and post-medieval industrial remains — spanning over 10,000 years of human activity.
