Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken of Hounslow Town Primary School, Hounslow, London (NGR TQ 1441 7584). It was undertaken for Pick Everard, on behalf of the London Borough of Hounslow, who plan to redevelop the site with a new school and residential development. The assessment has identified limited potential for prehistoric, Roman and early medieval remains to exist on the proposed development site. Although the site is located close to the alignment of the Roman Road between London and Silchester no evidence of the road or any significant Roman activity has been identified in the study area. The site is located adjacent to the historic core of Hounslow, which has its origins in the early medieval period and developed throughout the post-medieval period. There is a moderate potential that medieval and post-medieval activity extends into the proposed development site. Most of the site was in use as pasture and/or orchards throughout the post-medieval period and appears to have been undeveloped until the current school was built on the site around 1960. However there is some evidence that historic buildings and medieval backplots extended into the western part of the site. The assessment also identified that two buildings standing on the western part of the site date to between 1865 and 1896. They were originally built as part of the expansion of the original subscription school. Externally they appear well preserved although their internal condition was not established. It is recommended that a programme of archaeological mitigation be considered in advance of the development. The exact nature of this work will need to be considered with reference to access arrangements during school hours and term times. The scope and methodology of the works will need to be agreed with GLAAS.
