Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation in advance of the redevelopment of Acton High School consisted of six trial trenches . A small pit, containing prehistoric and Saxon pottery, was partially excavated in trench six. A layer of redeposited sand, sealed the pit and may represent the remains of an associated earthwork. The top of the gravel was located less than 0.3m below ground level, while the backfilled pit was 0.95m below ground level. A possible v-shaped profile ditch c.0.3m deep was recorded in trench three but no finds were recovered from its sterile fills. Several features, initially thought to be archaeological, were recorded in trenches 1-5. No finds or remnants of cultural activity were present within these features and they appeared to represent naturally accumulated silting of undulations in the underlying natural sand. A single residual sherd of Roman pottery retrieved from the topsoil in trench one to the north of the site may suggest the existence of Roman activity in the vicinity. No other archaeologically significant deposits were recorded during the evaluation and the remainder of the deposits encountered within the trenches dated to the late post-medieval/modern period. With the exception of the possible ditch in trench three, there were no surviving archaeological features beneath the playing fields to the west. The report concluded that the two areas investigated suffered little truncation in the modern period. [Au(abr)]
