Under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (as amended by the Historic Environment (Wales) 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. Approval is required from Cadw for any woodland creation within a 50m buffer zone of a Scheduled Monument. This approval is required in order to provide Cadw with an opportunity to assess the impact that the planting proposals may have upon the setting of the monument, significant views, or the monuments position relative to other key elements of the wider landscape or historic environment. 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
