ancient monument(Применяется по отнощнию к руинам и нежилым останкам зданий. Для хорошо сохранившихся и, как правило, до сих пор эксплуатируемых зданий применяется термин "listed building". An ancient monument is an early historical structure or monument (e.g., an archaeological site) worthy of preservation and study due to archaeological or heritage interest. In the United Kingdom it is a legal term, differing from the American term National Monument in being far more numerous and always man-made. As scheduled monument, it is the normal designation for legally protected ruins and visible archaeological remains in the United Kingdom. 4uzhoj)
