Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out in advance of construction work at the moated site of Chiswick Hall, a Grade II Listed Building and SAM. The site consisted of a moated enclosure with fishponds immediately to the north and south. The Hall itself dated from c. 1600. Two Mesolithic axes had been found at the site, whilst in the surrounding area, Neolithic flints, Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and medieval pottery and evidence of a possible Roman settlement had been recorded. During the evaluation, a medieval wall footing of mortared flint and chalk was revealed, and a very small quantity of struck flint and animal bone was recovered from the subsoil in association with modern brick and tile debris. The natural clay was located at a very shallow depth over the site. It was generally level, but sloped downwards to the south-east within two of the three trenches excavated, possibly indicating an earlier line of the moat. [AIP] |
