Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM) differ from other types of archaeology because their location is already known and they are deemed to be of national historical importance. SAMs are protected by the Ancient Monuments Act and any modifications are therefore subject to Scheduled Monument Consent at the discretion of central government, currently the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. If you have any specific questions regarding Scheduled Ancient Monuments in Greater London please contact the Inspector of Ancient Monuments. Further information can be found in the guidance paper for the owners or occupiers of Scheduled Ancient Monuments.
