Ancient monument
In British law, an ancient monument is an early historical structure or monument (e.g. an archaeological site) worthy of preservation and study due to archaeological or heritage interest.

Ancient monuments are defined by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 as
* any scheduled monument (of which there are currently more than 20,000); and 
* any other monument which in the opinion of the Secretary of State is of public interest by reason of the historic, architectural, traditional, artistic or archaeological interest attaching to it.
