Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Homes (South Coast) Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land which was formerly the MOD Headquarters complex, located in Durrington, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference NGR SU 15400 44700. A small portion of the MOD Headquarters was initially evaluated in 2006 which identified a significant concentration of Late Iron Age and Romano-British settlement within the northwest section of the site. The Phase 2 evaluation was intended to clarify the extent and nature of these archaeological remains, to evaluate other areas which had been previously inaccessible and to inform discussions as the extent and nature of subsequent archaeological mitigation. The evaluation was able to clarify the nature of the settlement activity in the northwest corner of the site which was found to be enclosed by a significantly large enclosure ditch up to eight metres in width and four metres in depth. The full extent of this enclosure ditch, and thus the general size of the associated settlement area, is unclear although the enclosed settlement is likely to cover a large part of the northern half of the Site (at least 1-2ha) and clearly extends well beyond the Site's northern limit to form a very substantial settlement. The size and nature of the enclosure ditch, the known multi-period occupation and the likely large size of the enclosed settlement appears to be broadly similar to the 9ha enclosed settlement at Figheldean which is located 2km to the north of the Site.
