Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed extension of Harlington Upper School. A probable 'hollow way' (Long Lane) ran north-south across the field, with a possible second, leading off to the west. Evidence of possible ditches within the bounds of both probable 'hollow ways' was observed. To the south of the study area, the field topsoil sealed an earlier topsoil containing a frequent, even distribution of c.12th-13th century pottery sherds. This assemblage may have accumulated as a result of direct dumping onto the buried topsoil. The deposit was seen for c.18.5m east-west and c.3m north-south. It was bounded to the east by a ditch and to the west by the probable north-south 'hollow way'. The northern limit appeared to be defined by rough cobble surfaces and an east-west ditch. The southern extent was not determined by the evaluation. This clearly defined 'allotment', with an apparent maintained soil, may have functioned as an enclosed orchard or cottage garden. Two linear features and a probable post hole were observed to the north and east of the 'allotment'. These may have represented a different phase of site use. The north-east quadrant of the study area was void of archaeological deposits. Evaluation results indicated that archaeological features and deposits relating to the 11th-13th century were present to the south of the study area. This had significance with regard to the origin and form of the Hamlet of Goswell End. [Au(abr)]
