Excavation by G Hayman of SCAU, for Tasman House Developments Ltd, in advance of redevelopment of a site that was partially evaluated in 1994. The work produced a number of interesting results: a number of stray finds and one feature of prehistoric date testifies to their being activity, and probably settlement, in the vicinity, at least during the Bronze Age; features, including two inhumation burials, of Roman date indicate activity alongside the road leading from the Roman town at Staines to London; there was occupation in the vicinity in the 11th-mid 14th centuries, presumably a result of the nearby town again flourishing. The periods of inactivity on the site, e.g. between the late 14th and the 18th centuries, are probably the result of increased flooding locally, making the area less attractive to settlement.
