Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Trout Road, Yiewsley, London Borough of Hillingdon (hereafter 'the Site') centred on National Grid Reference 505776, 180682. The watching brief was required to be maintained during the construction of a retail food store, associated car park and 90 residential dwellings. The Site covers an area of approximately 2.4 hectares and is bounded by Trout Road to the south-east, the Grand Union Canal to the west, warehouses to the north and the High Street to the north-east. The British Geological Survey maps (Sheets 259 and 269) shows the superficial underlying geology as alluvium. Following an archaeological desk-based assessment and subsequent archaeological field evaluation, comprising the excavation of five trenches in the southern half of the Site, an archaeological watching brief was required as a condition of planning consent. The watching brief has largely confirmed the results of both the earlier geotechnical survey and the trenched evaluation. Made ground and modern material was identified in all areas of the watching brief and where deeper excavation were undertaken, could be seen to be in excess of 3.60m deep. It is likely to represent material backfilled into the former canal dock. No archaeological finds or deposits were encountered during the works. |
