Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology at 9-15 Harefield Road, Uxbridge, London Borough of Hillingdon comprised four trenches located within the footprint of the proposed development, within the back gardens of the existing properties. The evaluation identified the presence of the natural river gravels overlying Eocene London Clay. A possible 17th century gravel extraction cut was identified, and overlying this were several horticultural horizons, dated to no earlier than the 17th century. They were continuously reworked throughout subsequent centuries up to the present, the latest phase being contemporary with the use of the site as back gardens for the four properties on Harefield Road. Some residual pieces of mesolithic flint were recovered from the post-medieval soils. |
