Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken at Goose Farm, Fritwell, Oxfordshire (National Grid reference SP52452919) prior to the creation of a new pond at Goose Farm and landscaping of the resulting spoil on site. A planning application for this development is in preparation for submission to Cherwell District Council. This report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application, and the need for further on-site evaluation, is assessed. The site of the proposed pond is located on the western side of the village of Fritwell to the south of the Church of St Olave whose dedication suggests an 11th century. It lies in the Fritwell Conservation Area, to the east of Goose Farm outbuilding which, prior to residential conversion, were the outbuildings for Heath farm, a Grade II listed 17th century farmhouse. Heath Farm is depicted on the 1808 Inclosure map and remains relatively unchanged in plan since then. The site is currently part of a pasture field. Fritwell is an attractive village, the historic core of which is built largely of Cotswold stone. The village is oriented along two axes, one running east-west along North Street, and one running roughly northsouth, along East Street, indicating two settlements dependent on two manorial estates, with the church between the two. An archaeological watching brief undertaken on a sewer pipeline within the same field as the proposed site of the pond recorded two shallow pits and a section of a ditch, all filled with fragments of limestone. A possible area of medieval settlement has been identified to the west of the church, c 150m north-west of the site. There are slight earthworks within the field containing the site of the proposed development.
