Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Aidan Turner of Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at the former Hayes Stadium, Judge Heath Lane, Hayes, London Borough of Hillingdon. The fieldwork was conducted between the 2nd and the 13th November 2009, and monitored groundworks associated with the construction of a new housing development. The work was commissioned by Lorraine Darton of CgMs Consulting on behalf of Barratt Homes Ltd and was monitored on behalf of the Local Planning Authority by Kim Stabler of English Heritage. The watching brief recorded natural gravels overlain by a brick earth subsoil deposit. Above this was a series of alluvial deposits and potentially at least one palaeochannel feature, probably representing an abraded stream channel. Some limited evidence of prehistoric activity was recovered form the surface of the channel fills. These were sealed by topsoil overlain by deposits relating to the construction of the late 20th century stadium. The watching brief demonstrated that the development associated with Hayes Stadium in the 20th century has had in places a severe impact on the underlying soils, but in other places has had no impact. |
