Scheduled monuments in Wiltshire
This is a list of scheduled monuments in Wiltshire.
In the United Kingdom, a scheduled monument is a "nationally important"
National Heritage Act 1983
. There are about 20,000 scheduled monument entries on the list, which is maintained by English Heritage; more than one site can be included in a single entry.
While a scheduled monument can also be recognised as a listed building, English Heritage considers listed building status as a better way of protecting buildings than scheduled monument status. If a monument is considered by English Heritage to "no longer merit scheduling" it can be descheduled.[2]
List
Wiltshire has over 1,000 scheduled monuments.[3]
