In January 2020, the Cornwall AONB launched the Monumental Improvement project, an initiative to help stabilise 40 Scheduled Monuments across 10 of the 12 AONB sections, which are listed on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register or classified as vulnerable.
This ambitious project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Historic England, Cornwall Council, the National Trust, and The Cornwall Heritage Trust, aims to tackle the current limited understanding of Scheduled Monuments in Cornwall as sites of national archaeological significance.
The enigmatic King Arthur's Hall on Bodmin Moor
The 40 sites span over 4,000 years of Cornish history, with some Scheduled Monuments predating the pyramids.Iron Age hill forts and Neolithic settlements feature alongside Medieval motte and bailey castles, whilst some sites have iconic associations with the writer Daphne Du Maurier, composer Richard Wagner and the legendary King Arthur, making them unrivalled for their national uniqueness.
During our development phase, there will be a number of ways you can get involved with A Monumental Improvement as a volunteer or attendee at one of our activities:
Archaeological Training on survey and conservation techniques
Volunteering sessions at sites to improve their condition
Guided walks to scheduled monument sites in Cornwall AONB
School visits to sites
Online events
We want to consult the community to show how you value the activities we are proposing through the lifetime of the project. If you have attended one of our events, please fill out the 'Event and Activity Survey'.
