Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a programme of archaeological work on land at Nishkam School, Syon Lane, Hounslow, London Borough of Isleworth in advance of redevelopment of the site. This phase consisted of the excavation of a 25m x 25m area within the south-west of the site as well as a watching brief maintained during ground demolition of the former White Lodge Club. Work took place on the 5th and 7th August 2016 (watching brief) and between the 22nd and 30th of August, 2016 (excavation). A single Middle Bronze Age feature was revealed comprising a small pit with a deliberately deposited pottery vessel. While this feature was not a cremation burial, it does hint at a 'ritualised' and/or a funerary element to the Middle Bronze Age landscape. Two modern features, believed to be goal posts relating to the sites use as a sports field, were also observed these join field boundary ditches, modern and natural features encountered during the previous evaluation. Natural Brick Earth was recorded between 25.15m and 25.20m AOD |
