| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation were undertaken. The evaluation comprised a 10m long trench at the site's southern boundary which revealed significant archaeological deposits. The evaluation was followed by the excavation of an area measuring approximately 10m NE-SW x 9m NW-SE at its base, located in the southern half of the site. The excavation revealed an archaeological sequence dating between the prehistoric and post-medieval periods. Struck flint blades and a leaf shaped arrowhead recovered from the top of the brickearth deposits represented evidence of Neolithic activity. Four Roman phases could be summarised briefly as follows: The earliest Roman activity dated to the 1st century consisted of a field boundary ditch and a gully. The next and most significant phase was occupation evidence dated to between the late 1st and 2nd centuries, consisting of post-built building/s, a hearth, and a cremation burial. The structures probably formed part of a Roman roadside ribbon development at the western edge of the Roman settlement of Brentford. The buildings appeared to have been abandoned at some time in the late 2nd century when the site became utilised as an external yard area, surfaced with gravel. By the end of the late 3rd or early 4th centuries the yard surface had gone out of use, with a new ditch perhaps indicating new property boundaries or drainage patterns. The Roman deposits were sealed by medieval and post-medieval plough soil deposits, and 18th and 19th century features associated with the Angel Inn public house. [Au(abr)] |
