Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation consisting of five trenches, which in addition to determining the archaeological potential of the site had four specific objectives: 1) Defining the environmental background of the deposits overlying the Kempton Park Gravels, 2) Determining the presence or absence of prehistoric activity on the site given the significant amount of prehistoric findspots encountered in the vicinity of Bagley's Lane, 3) Determining the presence or absence of post-medieval features relating to the market gardening estate and 4) Determining the presence or absence or features relating to Grove House. The earliest deposit encountered in four of the five trenches was natural sand, with natural gravels being revealed in the fifth. Traces of prehistoric activity were found in four of the trenches including three small cut features. Later activity on site was represented by a post-medieval bank and ditch, probably representing the northern market estate boundary, as well as a variety of other post-medieval layers and modern made ground, although in one trench possible evidence of Roman activity was encountered. |
