Abstract: |
Evaluations were undertaken at seven sites affected by a proposed passenger terminal complex at Heathrow Airport. At the Burrows Hill Site, the Neolithic Stanwell cursus was located. Human activity both pre- and post-dating the monument was identified, including a ring ditch or possible small henge. Possible prehistoric ditches and two post-medieval ditches were found at the Sanctuary Road Site. Features found at the South West Entrance Site included a prehistoric pit and ditch. No evidence of human activity was discovered at the North West Entrance Site. At Pear Tree Farm, an auger survey and trial trenches revealed the western ditch of the Stanwell cursus. The cursus was also found at the Perry Oaks Sludge Works, along with Iron Age and Roman artefacts, Roman features and an undated well. At the Staff West Car Park, an undated field system and a pit were recorded. [AIP] |
