| Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out following an evaluation and a watching brief. The archaeological works showed that the site represented a fairly simple archaeological sequence. No evidence for prehistoric, Roman or medieval land-use was recovered. During the post-medieval period the site was under agricultural/market garden use and in the 19th century part of the site was used as an orchard. Also during the early 19th century the Isleworth Pottery re-located to the eastern part of the site, in a strip adjacent to Clarence Terrance. First shown on the Warren Survey of 1850 was a large quarry pit in the north-east corner of the site. This quarry pit was further exposed in the excavation and was seen to have been filled in prior to 1865 with a limited range (but large quantity) of pottery wasters, ?seconds and kiln furniture showing that the pottery was making slipware bowls and redware flower pots (of various sizes) only. No evidence for pottery works structures were found, probably due to a combination of subsequent truncation and the implication (from map evidence) that the main buildings were located to the south of the present site. The closure of the pottery was followed by the construction of Thompson Terrace on the land adjacent to Clarence Terrace, but all that remained of this after subsequent truncation were a few redbrick walls and a filled in, brick lined well. Quarry pitting at the end of the 19th century was evident from a number of extensive pits filled with large amounts of pottery (marmalade jars, ointment jars etc) and glass (bottles and windowpane) in the southern-central part of the site. Modern activity in the form of massive and extensive truncation from decontamination excavations and fill, was seen as evidence for the former William Dye Works. It was therefore considered that the main potential for the data was concerned with the Hounslow Pottery, where there was an opportunity to study the date, type and range of the production.
