Scheduled monuments in Ceredigion
Ceredigion is a large rural county in West Wales. It has a long coastline of Cardigan Bay to the west and the remote moorland of the Cambrian Mountains in the east, with the mountainous terrain of Plynlimon in the northeast. Ceredigion has a total of 264 scheduled monuments. That is too many to have on a single list page, so for convenience the list is divided into two, 163 prehistoric sites and 101 Roman, Medieval and Post Medieval sites. Ceredigion is both a unitary authority and a historic county. Historically the county was called Cardiganshire. Between  1974 and 1996 it was merged with Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire to form Dyfed. Scheduled monuments. Scheduled monuments have statutory protection.
