Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at The Cedars Primary School, High Street, Cranford, Hounslow, London (NGR TQ 1050 7734). It was undertaken on behalf of Pick Everard (the Client), who intend to erect three single storey extensions to the main school building at Cedars Primary School, for which a planning application has been granted. The site lies in an Archaeological Priority Area and a desk-based assessment carried out prior to the works identified a potential for prehistoric and Roman remains to survive on the site. Although there are no known sites on, or adjacent to the proposed development site it is located in a landscape which has yielded extensive evidence of prehistoric and Roman activity. These include settlement and occupation sites as well as evidence of agricultural activity. Flint gravels and alluvial deposits were observed during the groundworks, overlaid with modern disturbance from the construction of the school, service trenches, and modern surfacing associated with the school grounds. No features of archaeological significance were recorded and it is concluded that archaeological assets recorded in the surrounding area do not extend into the site. |
