How many Scheduled Ancient Monuments are there? It would be nice to have a list of all of them on Wikipedia. dbenbenn | talk 05:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been searching for online lists of the Scheduled Ancient Monuments in order to populate the categories here and at the commons. The English Heritage website seems to be fairly useless, but putting Scheduled Ancient Monument into the advanced search at Images of England gives 1011 results. Historic Scotland are better as they have a searchable database of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, of which they claim there are about 8000 in Scotland. The Royal Commision on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales has an online database called coflein—I haven't spent much time with this yet, but I couldn't work out whether or not everything in the database is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (I think not, but it doesn't say).

It would be quite a list. The usual number given is somewhere over 20,000. In 1993, Hunter and Ralston's Archaeological Resource Management in the UK (IFA/Sutton, p46) gave 13,000 in England, 5,300 in Scotland and 2,700 in Wales. Of these, only around 1,000 are in state hands and not privately owned. The number will have risen since then as more SAMs are created than are descheduled. It was estimated in the late 1980s that there were a further 60,000 sites of National Importance deserving scheduling and this number will certainly have risen since PPG 16. 10:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

According to English Heritage there are 18,300 entries on the english schedule, at 31,400 sites. --VinceBowdren 23:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
