Scheduled monuments in Amber Valley

{{Short description|Protected historic sites in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England}}

This is a list of scheduled monuments in the district of Amber Valley in the English county of Derbyshire.

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.1369|title=The Schedule of Monuments|work=PastScape|accessdate=4 February 2009}} Scheduled monuments are defined in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the National Heritage Act 1983. There are about 20,000 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. If a monument is considered by English Heritage to "no longer merit scheduling" it can be descheduled.{{cite web|url=http://www.eng-h.gov.uk/ArchRev/rev97_8/mpp1.htm|title=Archaeological activities undertaken by English Heritage|publisher=English Heritage|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061126083615/http://www.eng-h.gov.uk/ArchRev/rev97_8/mpp1.htm|archivedate=26 November 2006|accessdate=15 February 2009}}
