Scheduled Ancient Monuments
Archaeological remains are a crucial link with our past. They
vary from obvious sites such as castles and stone circles to buried
remains – like Roman or medieval settlements – hidden
below fields or later buildings.
There are nine scheduled monuments in the Borough. These
are:
- Park pale at Marwell, south of Fisher’s Pond, Fair Oak
- Hamble Common earthworks, remains of St Andrew’s Castle, Hamble
le Rice
- Netley Abbey, Hound
- Netley Abbey aqueducts, Hound
- Netley Abbey precinct, wall and moat, Hound
- Netley Castle, Hound
- Hickley Wood hill fort, West End
- Bowl barrow 200m west of Moorgreen House,
West End
- Telegraph Woods Beacon, 170m north of Fir
Cottage, West End

What Protection do they Have?
English Heritage takes the lead in identifying sites in England
which should be placed on the schedule by the Secretary of State
for Culture, Media and Sport. A schedule, or list, has been kept
since 1882 of monuments whose preservation is given priority over
other land uses. The current legislation, the Ancient Monuments and
Archaeological Areas Act 1979, supports a formal system
of 'Scheduled Monument Consent' for any work to a designated
monument.
Scheduling is the only legal protection specifically for
archaeological sites.
