Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations revealed evidence of intermittent human activity over a considerable timespan. Residual flint artefacts of Mesolithic and Neolithic date, and a small number of Neolithic/Bronze Age features including postholes, were found. The most significant prehistoric evidence was the remains of a Neolithic/Bronze Age ring ditch, a monument type rarely recorded in the area. A small Iron Age artefact assemblage was also found, as was evidence for drainage ditches from that period. Drainage and boundary ditches formed much of the evidence for later activity on the site, which is located outside the centre of Staines-upon-Thames but close to the probable line of a Roman road. Roman occupation debris and agricultural features of 2nd-3rd century AD date were found, and there was a suggestion of continuity of occupation into the 4th century AD. There was no evidence for Saxon or early medieval activities, but the remains of later medieval rectilinear buildings, a well and ditches were found. Post-medieval features included a double horse burial of 17th or 18th century date. | ||||
