The Green Low Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme(GLAS) is a 5 year scheme that has a range of over 30 actions for applicants to select from.  The Protection and Maintenance of Archaeological Monuments is one action on offer of which there are two variations available, namely Tillage and Grassland.  The Protection and Maintenance of Archaeological Monuments Tillage option is paid at a rate of €146 per unit per scheme year and the Grassland option is paid at €120 per unit per year.  Full details on each of these options are available in scheme Specification booklets which can be located on my Department’s website at www.agriculture.gov.ie/farmerschemespayments/glas.
