List of Scheduled Monuments in South Yorkshire

This is a list of Scheduled Monuments in South Yorkshire, a metropolitan county in England.

In the United Kingdom, a Scheduled Monument is a "nationally important" archaeological site or historic building that has been given protection against unauthorised change by being placed on a list (or "schedule") by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport; English Heritage takes the leading role in identifying such sites.[1] Scheduled Monuments are defined in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the National Heritage Act 1983. They are also referred to as Scheduled Ancient Monuments. There are about 18,300 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.[1] If a monument is considered by English Heritage to "no longer merit scheduling" it can be descheduled.[2]
