A scheduled monument is a nationally important archaeological site or monument which is given legal protection 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. The legislation governing this is the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The term "monument" can apply to the whole range of archaeological sites, and they are not always visible above ground. Such sites have to have been deliberately constructed by human activity. They range from prehistoric standing stones and burial sites, through Roman remains and medieval structures such as castles and monasteries, to later structures such as industrial sites and buildings constructed for the World Wars or the Cold War.[8]
There are 79 scheduled monuments in Sedgemoor. The oldest are Neolithic, Bronze Age or Iron Age including hill forts, bowl barrows and occupied caves including several in Cheddar Gorge. Cannington Camp (which is also known as Cynwit Castle) dates from the Bronze Age,[9] while Brent Knoll Camp between the Somerset Levels and Brean Down is Iron Age (although there are some Bronze Age artefacts) and it was reused in the Roman period.[10][11] The Romano-British period is represented with several sites. Medieval sites include several motte-and-bailey castles and church or village crosses. Industrial development, particularly in Bridgwater, are represented by brick and tile kilns and a telescopic railway bridge.[12][13] The most recent monuments are World War II bunkers and bombing decoys on Black Down. The monuments are listed below using the titles given in the English Heritage data sheets.
The site was used in the Iron Age and again during the Romano-British and Medieval periods. It was at the edge of an inland lake which is now dry land.
Athelney Abbey was founded by King Alfred in 888, after he stayed there before the Battle of Edington, as a religious house for monks of the Order of St. Benedict. Originally Athelney was a small island in swampland. Following the dissolution it was acquired for use as a private residence by Lord Audley who had the church demolished. With the church demolished and other buildings fallen into disrepair, nothing visible remains at the site today. The site of the Abbey is marked by King Alfred's Monument which is a Grade II listed building.
Balt Moor Wall is an earthwork situated on the Somerset Levels to the northwest of the River Tone. The site contains the remains of a section of medieval causeway, which now forms a raised embankment between 6 metres (20 ft) and 10 metres (33 ft) wide and up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high. The structure, which English Heritage refers to as "a rare example of medieval engineering", appears to have been built to protect the Salt Moor from the flooding of the River Tone in the Athelney-Lyng gap.
The bowl barrow next to Wilmot's pool is 22 metres (72 ft) in diameter. The cairn, which is 45 millimetres (1.8 in) from the barrow, is approximately 4.5 metres (15 ft) in diameter and 0.6 metres (2 ft 0 in) high.
Earthworks from a complex of buildings, including a hall and chapel, surrounded by a moat. The site is believed to have been a bishops palace demolished by John Harewell, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, in the 1380s.
Brent Knoll Camp is at the summit of a 137-metre (449 ft) high hill which dominates the low surrounding landscape of the Somerset Levels. Brent Knoll has seen human settlement since at least the Bronze Age, becoming an Iron Age Fort about 2,000 B.C., which covers an area of 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres). It is defended by a single wall around 10 metres (33 ft) high and by a single ditch. The Romans used its summit as a fortification. The fort has been claimed as the site of Mons Badonicus.
The Somerset Brick and Tile Museum incorporates the last surviving 'pinnacle kiln' in Bridgwater, which dates from the 19th century. It is 21 metres (69 ft) high and the circular base is 4 metres (13 ft) in diameter.
The remains of a kiln built in 1725 as part of a glassworks. The kiln was originally 33 metres (108 ft) high. The remaining brickwork is between 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) and 0.6 metres (2 ft 0 in) high and up to 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) thick.
A 15th-century churchyard cross on an octagonal base. The shaft is approximately 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in) high; however the head of the cross is missing.
A Bronze Age and Iron Agehill fort. The small hill rises to 80 metres (260 ft) above low lying land about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) west of the tidal estuary of the River Parrett, near the ancient port and ford at Combwich. The hill fort is roughly square in shape, with a single rampart (univallate) enclosing 5 hectares (12 acres), and the main entrance to the south-east. The north side of the hill has been destroyed by quarrying during the 19th and 20th centuries. Minor excavations were carried out in 1905, 1913 (Bezell), and 1963 (Rahtz). Flint tools, scrapers and flakes have been found on or near the hill, indicating Mesolithic occupation. Bronze Age finds include an axe head and a knife. The area destroyed by quarrying was a late Roman and Saxon cemetery, with several hundred E-W (Christian) graves, and various grave goods such as coins and pottery from the period 350-800 AD.
The remains of a 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) long cross dyke over the Quantock Hills. The bank is 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high and has a ditch on its western side. The name Dead Woman's Ditch was thought to relate to a woman murdered in 1789, although it is now known to have earlier usage.
A six pipe duck decoy on a low lying area in the valley of the River Axe. It was constructed before 1668 but redug in 1762 and fell out of use after 1813.
Gough's Cave is located in Cheddar Gorge on the Mendip Hills. The cave is 90 metres (295 ft) deep and is 2.135 kilometres (1.33 mi) long, and contains a variety of large chambers and rock formations. It contains the Cheddar Yeo, the largest underground river system in Britain. The cave contained skeletal remains of both humans and animals, all showing cut-marks and breakage consistent with de-fleshing and eating. In 1903 the remains of a human male, since named Cheddar Man, were found a short distance inside Gough's Cave. He is Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton, having been dated to approximately 7150 B.C. A Skull cup dating from 14,700 B.C. has been uncovered at the site. The first 820 metres (2,690 ft) of the cave are open to the public as a show cave, and this stretch contains most of the more spectacular formations. The greater part of the cave's length is made up of the river passage, which is accessible only by cave diving.
A series of caves in Cheddar Gorge from which Iron Age and Romano-British artefacts have been found overlying cut marked horse bone dating from approximately 12,500 years ago.
The first part of the market cross was built in the 15th and included a central octagonal pillar. In the 16th or 17th century it was enclosed with a hexagonal arch structure. The cross head was added in 1877.
Earthworks from a bank and ditch which may have marked the boundary of the Compton Bishop estate according to a 1067 charter. In the 13th century it was associated with the boundary of the Royal Forest of Mendip.
A small cave from which a large number of Middle Palaeolithic artefacts, and two Neanderthal teeth dated to about 55,000 years BP, have been recovered.
Plainsfield Camp (or Park Plantation or Cockercombe Castle) is a possible Iron Age earthwork on the Quantock Hills, but may have been an animal enclosure.
Cheddar Palace was established in the 9th century. It was a royal hunting lodge in the Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods and hosted the Witenagemot in the 10th century. Nearby are the ruins of the 14th-century St Columbanus Chapel. Roman artifacts and a burial have also been discovered. The site of the palace is now marked by concrete slabs within the grounds of The Kings of Wessex Academy.
Earthworks including roadways and courtyards from a Roman settlement covering 18.5 hectares (46 acres). Artefacts from the site have included coins and pottery.
The Ruborough Camphill fort is on an easterly spur from the main Quantock ridge, with steep natural slopes to the north and south-east. The fort is triangular in shape, with a single rampart and ditch (univallate), enclosing 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres). There is a linear outer work about 120 m away, parallel to the westerly rampart, enclosing another 1.8 ha. There was a tunnel, which has now been filed in, which gave the camp safe access to a nearby spring for water. The site is on the Heritage at Risk Register.
A section of the Sweet Track, an ancient causeway in the Somerset Levels. Construction was of crossed wooden poles, driven into the waterlogged soil to support a walkway that consisted mainly of planks of oak, laid end-to-end. The track was only used for a period of around 10 years and was then abandoned, probably due to rising water levels. The specific date of construction is a result of Dendrochronology of the timbers recovered. Following its discovery in 1970, most of the track has been left in its original location, with active conservation measures taken, including a water pumping and distribution system to maintain the wood in its damp condition.
Artefacts from the cave demonstrate occupation during the Late Upper Palaeolithic. The faunal remains have been Radiocarbon dated to 35,000 years ago to c.10,000 years ago.

The retractable bridge was built in 1871 for the Bristol and Exeter Railway. It carried a railway siding over the river at the coal yard and docks in the Port of Bridgwater, but had to be movable, to allow boats to proceed upriver to the Town Bridge. The bridge was temporarily immobilised during World War II and last opened in 1953, and the traverser section was demolished in 1974.
The cross is 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in) high and stands on a three-step base. It was moved approximately 15 metres (49 ft) from its original 15th-century position.
The remains of a Z Battery, a short range anti-aircraft weapon system, which launched 3-inch (76 mm) diameterrockets from ground-based single and multiple launchers, for air defence. Most of the battery has been removed; however the control building survives.
The remains of bombing decoys and anti-aircraft obstructions in the form of earth and stone mounds. They are in the same area as prehistoric round barrows.
