Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology conducted an evaluation on land proposed for mixed residential and commercial development at RAF Uxbridge in the London Borough of Hillingdon, in order to provide further information on its archaeological potential. A total of 46 trenches were excavated within the Proposed Development Area (PDA). There was limited evidence for any remains of archaeological significance revealed. Linear features were recorded in two trenches and it is likely that they represented a continuous shallow ditch/gully. However, only one abraded sherd of prehistoric pottery was collected and this was considered likely to be residual. The PDA was subject to extensive development during the early 20th century and it is likely that this and any subsequent development has largely truncated or completely removed any earlier remains once present. The trial trenching evaluation revealed evidence for modern remains, most likely associated with the initial development of the former RAF base in the early 20th century. Structural remains were recorded in four trenches dispersed across the northern part of the PDA. In addition possible structural remains were identified from concrete observed in three trenches at the south and centre of the PDA. Accordingly, the trial trench evaluation confirmed the presence of modern remains associated with the former RAF buildings cleared during various phases of development. |
