Scheduled monuments are nationally important archaeological sites and monuments that are given legal protection by being placed on a schedule by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. Any work which might affect a scheduled monument will require Scheduled Monument Consent from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Scheduled monuments in Cumbria range in nature from prehistoric stone circles to Cold War military remains. Advice concerning scheduled monuments should be obtained from English Heritage and they have the statutory responsibility for the management of such monuments.
