| Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out at a proposed development site where an earlier evaluation had recorded Roman and medieval deposits and possible Bronze Age material. A buried clay soil and a mound containing Late Bronze Age pottery were identified. Iron Age and Roman features were also recorded, the latter including a metalled surface, associated drainage gullies, ditch features, pits and a sequence of burning episodes, perhaps associated with a sill-beam construction building. Little Saxon pottery was recovered, indicating that this part of the High Street had been peripheral to settlement in Staines during the Saxon period. A road-side building, a possible house, pits and gullies of medieval date were present, and post-medieval activity was represented by a tile yard and several features. Artefacts found included four well-stratified assemblages of Late Iron Age pottery, and a sequence of assemblages representing pre-Flavian and Flavian occupation. Evidence of flooding in the 3rd century AD was noted. [AIP] |
