The term 'monuments' covers a diverse range of structures that vary widely in their nature, date, function and form. Even the legal definition included in the [Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1979/46] is all encompassing and the [National Heritage Act 2002|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/14] amends the definition of “ancient monuments” in the [National Heritage Act (1983)|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/47] and the [Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979)|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1979/46] to include sites in, on or under the seabed:

In the vast majority of cases it will be impractical for HERs to attempt to record every single artefact or ecofact but a consistent approach can be achieved by remembering that the HER is only an index to information. Finds and environmental indices can be created which allow rapid, consistent recording of groups of artefacts and ecofacts by broad type with additional information such as the existence of specialist reports. At present working parties sponsored by English Heritage are developing systems and thesaurii for recording finds and environmental material within HERs. In addition EH and ALGAO are working with the Portable Antiquities Scheme to ensure the transfer of information reported by metal detectorists into HERs.
