Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken on a site which was located 650 metres to the south of the Roman settlement at Brentford and along the London-Silchester Roman road. Much of the site showed evidence of modern truncation and did not produce any archaeological evidence. However, several phases of ditches were found during the evaluation in an area of high land overlooking the River Brent. Roman pottery from the area around the ditches was mainly dated to the 3rd and 4th centuries. The ditches were interpreted as field boundaries and (in conjunction with heavily abraded potsherds) show that the region was an open area used for agriculture, very likely growing produce for consumption in the city of Londinium.
