Abstract:		 In February and March 2010 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation on Cobbs Farm, Goldhanger, Essex (NGR TL 8090 0861). The evaluation was carried out in order to form part of an Environmental Impact Assessment in advance of a planning application for an agricultural reservoir (Planning ref: ESS/24/08/MAL/S). The evaluation revealed three ring ditches (TR. 7 (F1036), Tr. 27 (F1151 and F1153) and Tr. 35 (F1127)), 38 ditches or gullies, 36 pits and postholes and an irregular depression. Finds were generally sparse and few features were dated. Bronze Age features comprise Ring Ditch F1036 (TR. 7), and Pits F1075 and F1085 (Tr. 28). Pit F1032 (also in Tr. 7) contained burnt flint, and the feature may be prehistoric. The remaining sherds were small in number (1) and obtained from open features (ditches), and are insufficient to date the features (Ditch F1051 (Tr. 15) and Ditch F1131 (Tr. 35)) each contained a Bronze Age sherd. Ditch F1055 (Tr. 15) and Ditch F1057 (Tr. 22) each contained a Roman sherd). A late Saxon/ early medieval sherd, and a Roman sherd were found in the topsoil (Trs. 14 and 17 respectively). Two concentrations of features were identified. Firstly within Trenches 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7, and secondly within Trenches 22, 28, 32, 33. The features principally comprised gullies, pits and post holes were recorded in the eastern half of the site (Trs. 26-27, 34-37, 44, 47, 50 and 55). Trench 15 on the western side of the site contained three pits. Linear ditches traversed the site and were recorded in several trenches (Trs. 4 and 5; Trs. 19-22; Trs. 33-34; and Trs. 35, 38, 51, and 53).
