Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of 5 trenches in 2 car parks to the north of 408- 430 Chiswick High Road. Trenches were excavated under constant archaeological supervision and extended to a depth at which archaeologically sterile geological deposits were observed. The results of the archaeological evaluation indicated that the natural topography of the site, as represented by the heights of naturally deposited brickearth found in all 5 trenches, had been significantly impacted by modern and, potentially, late post-medieval activity. The late post-medieval and modern activity at the site was represented by wall foundations, a soakaway and a single rectangular posthole found in 2 of the trenches located within the Essex Place car park. A layer of modern concreted made ground was found in all trenches immediately below the tarmac surface and sand and gravel bedding layer of the current car park. The substantial thickness of this layer, particularly in the Acton Lane car park, indicated that it may have formed a foundation or a surface for a building or buildings that were never constructed. No archaeological activity or deposits that pre-dated the post-medieval period were recorded during the archaeological evaluation. |
