Gomsi is an ancient archaeological site located between Rani Village and Sika Tode[1] in East Siang District, Arunachal Pradesh, India. It is dated to the 13th-14th century by the Directorate of Research, Government of Arunachal Pradesh[2] and is associated with the Chutia Kingdom. It is located at the field of Rani Village, about 15 km from the town of Pasighat.

It might have acted as a checkpoint of the Chutia kingdom to keep peace in the region as well to control the trade exchanges at that period. There is also an ancient man-made pond(pukhuri) built as a part of the settlement.
