An impact assessment was undertaken of a proposed sewerage scheme in Newport. The proposed development consists of the upgrading of the sewerage scheme at Newport, with the construction of a new pumping station wastewater treatment plant, while two different options for outfall pipes were proposed. Some of the proposed development is located within the intertidal zone. A number of sites are located within or adjacent to the intertidal zones proposed in the present development. These include SMR 67:37, an enclosure and possible hut site in Lisduff; 67:61, a possible enclosure in Rosmore; and 68:13, an enclosure in Newport, which is no longer extant. The proposed development would particularly impact on the former two sites. No new archaeological features or artefacts were identified during the walkover of the relevant areas of the intertidal zone.
