Abstract:		 A single trench was excavated at Tilley's Lane East with two trenches at Tilley's Lane West. Limited evidence of Bronze Age activity was observed in the western trenches including flood defence measures and probable agricultural activity. The major phase of activity was in the early Romano-British period, where domestic - including in situ tessellated floor surface and associated wall lines indicative of a substantial structure - and small-scale industrial activity was concentrated in the area of the central, 'dry' High Street site. Activity of a more marginal character was occurring to the west, with the disposal of domestic debris and burial of neonatal infants. Flooding was clearly still a problem at this time, with broad ditches forming flood defences and evidence for at least one major alluvial incursion. The late Romano-British period saw a shift in occupation to either end of the island, presumably concentrated around the crossing point to the east and west. Most of the evidence from this phase was suggestive of agricultural activity, possibly of high value crops on the west side. Medieval activity of 11th-14th century date was concentrated in the east, where ditches on the same alignment as the north-south burgage ditches and backland boundary plots observed in the previous excavations at CTE Staines, suggested a similar land use. Evidence from the west end of the island was for disposal of domestic refuse, whilst there was negligible evidence from the high Street site, again suggesting a shifting emphasis in land use.
