Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on the construction of an approximately 1.25km section of pumping mains. Part of this line crossed an area of brickearth, which was considered to be of particular archaeological interest. The archaeological works comprised the monitoring of the topsoil strip of a 6m wide easement across the entire study area. With the exception of the brickearth area, pipe trenching was thereafter undertaken under watching brief conditions as specified in the Project Design. In the area of brickearth, the easement was stripped of topsoil, but not subsoil. A 3-4m wide trench was subsequently excavated under archaeological supervision. The excavation of the brickearth revealed archaeological features consisting of three ditches, two gullies and a pit. One ditch appeared to be of Neolithic date while the other two and the pit were of 12th-13th century date. Both gullies contained only very small undiagnostic fragments of tile and may equally have been of Roman, or post-medieval date. The project identified the presence of a multi-period landscape, predominantly associated with the settlement evidence already known from Harmondsworth. [Au(abr)] |
