Abstract:		 The work associated with this project was carried out by staff from HFA, in accordance with the written scheme of investigation for archaeological monitored topsoil strip, to be followed by targeted trial excavation to ensure preservation by record, produced by HFA, (Atkinson, D. July 2021), HER Reference: 21/00925/PLF and with reference to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists 2014 (a) Standard and Guidance for archaeological field evaluation and (b) Standard and Guidance for archaeological excavation. The scheme of works comprised the monitoring of the stripping of the topsoil from the area of the new roundhouse. This work was undertaken in two main stages; the first being the removal of the topsoil across the site to a depth of around 0.30m below the current ground surface, the second being a deeper strip (most noticeably on the west and north) which removed natural clay and the exposed (and recorded) archaeological deposits for up to a further 0.60m below the initial stripped area. This additional material was moved to the eastern side of the stripped area to level the ground up in that part of the site. The diameter of the strip was 51m. Further, the eastern half of the site needed o be raised up due to discrepancies in ground level, therefore, little in the way of any archaeological deposits were exposed in that area. Standard Humber Field Archaeology recording procedures were used throughout; each identified feature was allocated a context number, with written descriptions recorded on pro forma sheets. Plans and sections were drawn to scale on pre-printed permatrace sheets. A digital photographic record was maintained. The locations of the trenches and the level of the features were surveyed relative to the Ordnance Survey National Grid and Ordnance Datum respectively, using survey-grade GPS equipment. Finds encountered were recorded to professional standards using recognised procedures and numbering systems compatible with the accessioning system employed by the recipient museums service (in this case East Riding of Yorkshire Museums Service). In July and August 2021 an archaeological monitored topsoil strip, followed by targeted trial excavation to ensure preservation by record was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology in advance of the erection of an agricultural roundhouse building on land north-east of Swanland Roundabout, Swanland, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU14 3NG. The monitoring of the topsoil strip and selective areas of ground reduction revealed an archaeological landscape dating to the Romano-British period. This was in the form of a large west to east oriented ditch, and which ran across the site and a further large ditch (with terminal end) oriented north to south in the south-western area of the site. These features were accompanied by one or two small pits. These features were superseded by slightly later north to south aligned ditches which cut over the top of the earlier, larger features. One of the later ditches appeared to empty into a large water collection pit which also truncated the earlier ditch sequence. Pottery recovered from the features at the site demonstrated a broadly 2nd century appearance across the main two phases of activity.
