Evidence for Bronze Age settlement on Coombe Warren, Kingston Hill
D FIELD and S NEEDHAM
The evidence of artefacts collected since the last century suggests intermittent activity on Kingston Hill between the Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age, while in the Late Bronze Age actual occupation may be inferred. A number of relatively complete pottery vessels and characteristic LBA domestic artefacts indicate an established settlement. In addition there is possible evidence for contemporary burial and strong evidence for metalworking. It is conjectured that the site could have been responsible for some of the rich accumulation of bronzes in the west London stretch of the Thames, and might have been enclosed by an earthwork.
