Resumen

This Act makes provision with respect to the protection and conservation of ancient monuments and related matters such as the acquisition of land by the Government for purposes of this Act. All ancient monuments and antiquities, whether upon any land or in any river, stream or watercourse, or under territorial waters of the country, shall vest in the Government and no person shall possess or have in custody any ancient monument or antiquity except under a licence granted by the Minister in the prescribed form. The Act also concerns rights or owners of land on which ancient monuments are situated and allows the Minister to grant any occupier of land the right to demolish for agricultural or other industrial reasons an ancient monument situated on the land. The Minister may also, by Order, declare national land containing or adjacent to an ancient monument to be an Archaeological Reserve.
