Ancient monuments

There are currently 41 Scheduled Ancient Monuments in East Cambridgeshire.  

The full schedule is held and maintained by Historic England and enquiries about specific sites should be made to them directly.

If you are intending to carry out any works that will affect a scheduled monument, either above or below ground, you must apply to the Secretary of State for Scheduled Monument Consent, prior to any works being undertaken. Works are defined in the 1979 Act as being:

• any works resulting in the demolition or destruction of or any damage to a scheduled monument
• any works for the purpose of removing or repairing a scheduled monument or any part of it or of making any alterations or additions thereto
• any flooding or tipping operations on land in, on or under which there is a scheduled monument

It is advisable to contact English Heritage when considering any works that may affect a scheduled monument.
