Abstract:		 The east of the site is occupied by the Oswestry Water Treatment Works. Its construction at the turn of the 20TH century and throughout has meant any potential for archaeological remains surviving within its vicinity are very unlikely. The intrinsic and historic value needs to be considered in regards to any alterations of the water works itself, being the only one of its kind in the county and possibly country. The site and the proposed development plans overlie the remains the Llanforda-isaf farmstead. The remains consist of upstanding walls, buildings and possible subterranean structures. The full extent of these remains could not be ascertained due to its inaccessibility as a result of dense woodland growth. The presence of the visible remains indicate high potential for below ground preservation of the farmstead, though these may be damaged by the woodland cultivation and burrowing mammals. No detailed plans of the farmstead are currently known, though its general layout appears on maps since 1838. Two ponds (Site 1 and 2) survive to the west and south of the site, likely to date from the 1800s, and could provide information on water management within the 19TH century. Site 2, including its structural features, is highly likely to be affected by the proposed development. Its intrinsic value may be less than the Llanforda-isaf farmstead, though its value increases when taken into consideration as part of the wider 19TH and 20TH century landscapes.
