A piece from 2017:

A car park in the English city of Leicester, where the remains of King Richard III were discovered five years ago, is now a protected monument.

Specifically, the location has been given scheduled monument status and described as “one of the most important sites in [the U.K.’s] … national history.”

One thing I love about archaeologists is that they will tell you that they don't care about kings and palaces, they prefer digging in old latrines because that's where you really get to understand the past; kings don't really matter. Then they find a king and that's out window instantly.
