Excavations in Syon Park, Brentford, have made a substantial
contribution to our knowledge of this Roman rural settlement on the
London-Silchester road, by a ford across the Thames. The site
yielded a well-dated sequence - from the mid 1st to early 5th
century AD - including occupation deposits and two 2nd-century
timber buildings destroyed by fire, as well as details of the main
road and adjacent field system. These and a large assemblage of
finds, including a surgical instrument and a roundel depicting the
Medusa, provide a rare glimpse of life in the countryside in the
hinterland of Londinium. A detailed overview of Roman Brentford
(the first to be published since 1978) is included.
