Abstract: |
Two archaeological evaluation trenches, both 30.00m by 2.00m were excavated on the site and revealed natural Kempton Park Terrace gravels. The only archaeological activity identified on the site consisted of a probable cess pit of late (18th ? And an undated shallow ditch. A number of early 20th century walls were observed relating to dwellings of that date. These features were sealed by layers of made ground which, in places were in excess of 1.20m thick and relate to the post WWII clearance and leveling of the site for the construction of a factory. The majority of the site, particularly towards the west, shows a significant amount of horizontal truncation, perhaps relating to bomb damage in the last century. |
