Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Aardvark EM Ltd. (the Agent) on behalf of Enso Energy (the Clients) to undertake a desk-based assessment and geophysical survey for land at Steventon Road, Drayton, Abingdon, as part of the pre-application works required for the development of a gas peaking station. The proposed site is located towards the southern edge of the parish- and village of Drayton, a Domesday Manor, on land that was enclosed in the 19th century, although may have been subject to medieval and later agricultural practices accounting for ridge and furrow earthworks within the landscape. The landscape surrounding the site includes a variety of archaeological sites and assets from a range of periods including cropmarks; Bronze Age pottery findspots; Romano-British settlements and field systems and Anglo-Saxon sunken featured buildings. The geophysical survey identified very little in the way of obviously significant potential archaeological features; although possible pits and anomalies associated with earthworks that were visible on the ground and from LiDAR data may be of significance in understanding the pre-19th century enclosed agricultural landscape. The geophysical survey also identified modern services.
