PRECIOUS archaeological treasures could be destroyed by a proposed 12,000-home development to the east of Swindon.

This is the view of an expert who has been speaking out against the Eastern Development Area (EDA) for more than a decade.

Houses, community facilities, schools and shops are planned for the EDA, on land between Wanborough and South Marston.

Plans for development on the site were first mooted by developer David Wilson Estates in 1998, when they were criticised by Bryn Walters, director of the Swindon-based Association for Roman Archaeology.
