Abstract:		 This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological evaluation that was undertaken at 1-4 Capital Interchange Way, Brentford, London Borough of Hounslow, TW8 0EX (TQ 1907 7842).The evaluation demonstrated that the underlying superficial geology consisted of brickearth sealing terrace gravels. The brickearth sloped down from north to south, towards the River Thames, and was mottled green-grey in Trench 1. These areas of discolouration are likely the result of weathering. The remaining stratigraphy of the site was mainly composed of two post-medieval layers, with cut features. The earliest dated features were recorded in Trench 4, and dated from the early to mid-18th century. The features comprised a shallow linear feature running north-west to south-east, possibly the base of a ditch or gully following the path seen on the historic map regression, and associated post holes. An agricultural horizon dating to the late 18th-19th century spanned the site, and was only truncated by other small post-medieval features of a similar time period. This in turn was sealed by a darker horticultural layer of the mid-19th century, also spanning the site, likely associated with the orchard present on site during the mid-late 1800s. A large pit with two fills was observed in Trenches 2 and 4, truncating the earlier post-medieval horizons and cutting deep into the natural brickearth and gravel. The size and shape of this feature suggests that it was a quarry pit, representing activity from the late 18-19th century. It is likely that the pit was excavated for the purpose of gravel extraction or to access the naturally occurring outcrops of brickearth in the area. The post-medieval layers were largely undisturbed by later development on the site. .
