Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation and monitoring was carried out on the site of a new swimming pool extension, gym and changing area at Edwin''s Hall, Woodham Ferrers, Essex between March and June 2005. Residual pottery indicates that there was some settlement activity in the vicinity in the 12th century. The earliest archaeological features, dating to the 13th century, include a pit, a ditch and a small number of structural features, comprising post-holes, stake-holes and beam slots. These suggest that by the 13th century there was a building or buildings on the site. The inner moat appears to have been created in the late 13th or early 14th century and the upcast clay spread about the interior to form a platform. No evidence for a later medieval house was identified but this is most likely to have been on the site of the current hall. In the 16th century a large cess pit was excavated and later backfilled with ash and tile rubble. Towards the end of the 16th century a brick building was constructed over the top of the pit. This building is believed to be the remains of the east wing of the new hall constructed by Edwin Sandys. Within the building were a series of brick-lined channels that may have been part of an early under-floor heating system. This part of the building was demolished by the middle of the 19th century. A number of later features appear to be associated with modern garden/yard activity.
