Aberporth Airfield, Cardiganshire. Archaeological Assessment Report

The Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (LUAU) were invited by White Young Green
Environmental Consultancy to undertake an archaeological assessment of Aberporth airfield (SN
255 495) as part of an Environmental Impact Assessment. It is proposed to develop the airfield
for the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). The assessment involved a deskbased
study of the development of the site in conjunction with a walk-over survey of the site.
The desk-based study involved investigation of pertinent documents held by the Welsh National
Assembly, the Dyfed Sites and Monuments Record, the National Library of Wales, the Cardigan
Archives, the archives of DERA, and those of the Defence Estates (Brecon). The walk-over
survey involved a systematic examination of the extent of the airfield and of the exteriors of the
airfield buildings.
