There are 1721 scheduled monuments in the county of West Yorkshire, England. These protected sites date in some cases from the Neolithic period, and include ruined abbeys, castles, bridges and bowl barrows.[1] In the United Kingdom, the scheduling of monuments was first initiated to ensure the preservation of "nationally important" archaeological sites and historic buildings. Protection is given to scheduled monuments under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.[2]
