Under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (as amended by the Historic Environment (Wales) Act, 2016) the Welsh Ministers, through Cadw, compile and maintain a Schedule of Ancient Monuments. Those monuments included on the Schedule are of national importance and cover a diverse range of archaeological sites, from prominent well-known ruins to those completely buried below ground. The Schedule is increasing as part of an ongoing planned enhancement programme to ensure it contains the best examples of all types of ancient monuments in Wales that are of national importance. Authorised consent (known as Scheduled Monument Consent) is required from Cadw for any work within a Scheduled Monument boundary that has the potential to damage or disturb the monument (including woodland creation/tree planting). Unauthorised damage and non-consented works can lead to a criminal prosecution. Please see GN002 for more info. The mapping and descriptions for all scheduled monuments in Wales can be found here: https://cadw.gov.wales/advice-support/cof-cymru/search-cadw-records
