Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Henry Streeter (Sand and Ballast) Ltd to undertake an archaeological excavation in advance of sand and gravel extraction. The Site, which lies south of the M4 and east of Wall Garden Farm, is situated immediately east of the existing workings at RMC Land, Harlington. The potential of the Site was established by archaeological evaluation in 2007, as well as by the results of the adjacent excavations of RMC Land. Features were exposed after the removal of c. 0.5m of topsoil and subsoil, and cut the natural brickearth, a few also cutting the underlying gravels. Features have been phased on the basis of their artefactual contents, stratigraphical relationships and spatial associations, and in some cases this phasing is tentative. The majority of the features appear to be of late Saxon/early medieval date (10th/11th century), with a much smaller number phased to the Neolithic, late prehistoric, Romano-British, early/middle Saxon and post-medieval periods. A significant number of features remain unphased. The dates, distribution, nature, form and contents of the features recorded on the Site appear almost wholly consistent with, and represent an eastern continuation of, those recorded more extensively to the west on RMC Land, as well as to the south at Imperial College Sports Ground. |
