In 1999, excavations on the former Feltham Marshalling Yards to the south of the heath unearthed remains of an Iron Age furnace and post holes from a round house. There are various remains of former mills and other industrial archaeological features adjoining the course of the River Crane in the vicinity of the heath. This section of the river is classified as an Archaeological Priority Area.
