It is maintained by\u00a0English Heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Historic Scotland\u00a0is responsible for the\u00a0Inventory of Historic Battlefields.\u00a0There are currently 17 battlefields on the Inventory.<\/p>\n<p>In Wales, the Welsh Ministers proposed in March 2011 that\u00a0Cadw also compiles a non-statutory register of historic battlefields.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are many historic battlefields in England only a few are considered to be important enough to be included in the register. The current criteria for designation are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Historic significance &#8211; the battle must have had a significant impact on English history.<\/li>\n<li>It must have involved recognised military units and the area on which the forces formed up and fought must be capable of definition on the ground.<\/li>\n<li>Surviving topographical and built features which played a part in the battle are important as is the potential for\u00a0battlefield archaeology, i.e. the survival of features and items from the battle such as graves and weapons.<\/li>\n<li>Documents and memorials that help with the understanding of the battle through eye-witness accounts or subsequent investigation will also raise the site\u2019s significance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Scotland, the criteria are similar but with the additional requirement that the it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. English Heritage is currently reviewing the criteria in the light of recent battlefield studies and developments in battlefield archaeology.<sup id=\"cite_ref-meetings_22-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Unlike listed buildings, Registered battlefields in England are not graded according to their relative significance.<\/p>\n<p>There is currently no historic battlefield register or statutory protection for such sites in Northern Ireland.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>READ MORE<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"h1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/listing\/what-is-designation\/registered-battlefields\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Registered Battlefields (Historic England)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"h1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Registered_Battlefields_(UK)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Registered Battlefields UK (Wikipedia)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK has many Historic Battlefield sites, some of which have legal protection through heritage protection legislation whilst others are protected through landscape legislation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11056,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[153,19],"tags":[314,812,811,193,194,195],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is a Historic Battlefield (AKA Registered Battlefield)?
