For those who know the area, yes it is a SSSI and yes I had permission to dig these up.

Unfortunately we cannot identify the iris' ourselves, can anyone help?
Also, what tips can anyone give us on how to look after and cultivate these iris'?

I have taken some photographs of them to show what they look like.

Thanks for any help

VERY pretty. There are so many named varieties, you may have to go to a specialist grower for advice.
