Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the Wapshott Estate by CgMs Consulting Ltd. on behalf of their client. The evaluation was on the sites of eleven housing developments centred on Wapshott Road and Bowes Road, Staines, Surrey. The work was carried out in two phases; the first phase was conducted from 2nd to 6th July 2007 and the second from 13th to 20th February 2008. The trenches were largely devoid of archaeology with a few notable exceptions. A single Mesolithic flake fragment was recovered from a natural shallow feature in trench J2-2 (east of site); while to the northwest of the site a small group of filed gullies yielded Late Bronze Age to Late Iron Age pottery from trench K3. In the far south of the site an isolated field ditch produced Roman pottery from trench M2 and a further undated gulley feature was identified in trench J1. The central area of the site appeared to have been greatly disturbed by a large truncation event although the true cause of this disturbance is unclear it appears to have been in filled with modern made ground, and evidence for this event is recorded in trenches L1, L2, L4, N1 and N2. |
