SNN72900 - DIRFT East: Evaluation Report Interim, Volume 2

An archaeological evaluation has been carried out by RPS Clouston on the DIRFT East site to obtain information on the known or potential archaeology of the site. This information will be used to determine a future strategy for the archaeology during the development of the site. The evaluation techniques included fieldwalking, geophysical surveys and trail trenching. An Iron Age settlement site consisting of circular and larger enclosures including structural evidence for huts was identified on the west part of the site. Evidence for several phases of occupation was found including episodes of flooding. Possible Romano-British field systems and settlement activity was also found. These remains had been truncated by medieval and later ploughing activity.
