Summary. An archaeological evaluation (five trial-trenches) was carried out at land to the rear of 60 Maldon Road, Goldhanger, Essex in advance of the change of use of land and proposed development of four 5-bedroom detached dwellings, with detached/attached garages, together with access drive from adjoining development. A number of Bronze Age and Early Iron Age archaeological features were found in the north east of the site. This echoed findings of prehistoric activity at this part of the site by a previous archaeological excavation by Archaeology South-East. By contrast, there was no confirmation of speculation that medieval land enclosures extended into this site.
