<p>Roman ruins of national importance may be protected by the Secretary of State as
Scheduled Monuments. Before doing so, he consults Historic England.</p><p>In the case
of the currently unscheduled ruins discovered at Eastfield, Historic England has negotiated
with Keepmoat Homes, the developer, to secure their short-term preservation as part
of public open space within the ‘Capella’ housing scheme. Once the core area of the
ruins is clearly defined and reburied, the Secretary of State will consider the case
for designating them as a Scheduled Monument in order to help secure their protection
and long-term preservation.</p>
