Scheduled ancient monuments |
| Scheduled Ancient Monuments are identified by English
Heritage | |
|
Scheduling is the means by which nationally important
sites and monuments are given legal protection. English Heritage
takes the lead in identifying sites to be included on the
schedule.
It is the only legal protection specifically for archaeological
sites
There are currently 28 ancient monuments on the schedule, within
the Borough.
A monument that has been scheduled is protected against
disturbance or unlicensed metal detecting. Consent has to be sought
from English Heritage if you wish to carry out any work that might
affect a monument above or below ground.
In the first instance, we should be able to provide information
on the location and extent of these sites. Please contact the our
Conservation officer on 01952 384189 or email
Urban Form & Conservation
We have an agreement with Shropshire County Council to
provide archaeological advice for the Borough. You can contact
