| Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the re-opening of three 30 year old archaeological trenches, the excavation of a new trial trench and the drilling of 4 geoarchaeological boreholes. In a separate trench the slot for a 1st century Roman timber building was revealed. Elsewhere the brickearth was sealed by a possible agricultural soil that contained predominantly Roman material but also a fragment of medieval pot. The most significant find was the approximate location of the medieval edge of the River Brent; this was about half way up the site. It seemed that the southern half of the site remained as marginal land until at least the late 16th century. At the northern edge of the site substantial remains of a building, possibly dating to the 15th century, were recorded. This was demolished at the end of the 16th century at which time an alley way leading to the south of the site was first set out. Throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries the site continued to develop and the archaeological sequence continued right through to the present day. [Au(abr)] |
