Abstract:		 In June 2017 Archaeological Research Services Ltd (ARS Ltd) was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey to undertake an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation on land adjacent to Eden Drive, Sedgefield, County Durham, in advance of development. Planning permission was granted by Durham County Council for the proposed development which includes outline planning permission for up to 220 dwellings and full planning permission for 80 dwellings with associated access and landscaping (DM/15/03808/OUT). Only the northern-most part of the development site was subjected to full excavation while three evaluation trenches were opened within the south-western area. The excavation targeted an Iron Age - Roman Iron Age rectilinear enclosure that had first been identified through geophysical survey and was subsequently confirmed through the excavation of evaluation trenches. The excavation covered an area of approximately 2.6ha and revealed evidence for occupation spanning the Mesolithic period to the post-medieval period, and confirmed multiple phases of the enclosed settlement with at least two phases of Iron Age occupation and a subsequent phase of Roman Iron Age occupation.
