So, my learned friend, where does this interpretation that speaks specifically of 'a county council, place an HER held by a Unitary Authority?

Here is the actual wording of the relevant part of GPDO 1995 (Reg. (1) (2), 'Interpretation'):
"site of archaeological interest" means land which is included in the schedule of monuments compiled by the Secretary of State under section 1 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (schedule of monuments), or is within an area of land which is designated as an area of archaeological importance under section 33 of that Act (designation of areas of archaeological importance), or which is within a site registered in any record adopted by resolution by a county council and known as the County Sites and Monuments Record;
The Warwickshire CC resolution might do the trick, but actual use of the word 'adopted' in any resolution would probably be better. Of course, the GPDO refers to county councils and County SMRs. Where a CC has been replaced by a Unitary, the GDPO might be construed as meaning "a CC or its replacement". In any event, irrespective of the GDPO, formal adoption of the HER might be beneficial, in giving more weight to the HER?

Sarah,
Warwickshire HER (or SMR as it was then) was formally adopted by Warwickshire County Council in 1995, I have the memo to prove it!
The memo says:
"Pursuant to Council Resolution of 18th July, I confirm that you and members of your staff supervised by you, are authorised to maintain and update the Warwickshire Sites and Monuments Record."
Whether this is in accordance with the Town and County Planning Order of 1995 I am not sure. Does anyone know?
