Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned by ERM, to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation in connection with the proposed White Rose Carbon Capture and Storage (WRCCS) Facility on land adjacent to Drax Power Station, North Yorkshire. A total of 27 trenches were excavated. The most significant result was the discovery of an extensive area of probable Roman activity in the south half of field H, where ditch remains and associated pottery were recovered. Further investigation may reveal a wider pattern of rectilinear enclosures, structural foundation trenches and pits. Along with associated finds and environmental assemblages, the results would allow analysis of the character, scale and economy of the site and how it compares to others in the region. In addition, the work further supported the likelihood of a medieval fish pond and moat associated with Drax Priory in Field J, enhancing our understanding of this nationally significant, scheduled site. An auger survey undertaken as part of the work revealed a substantial deposit of organic-rich material and peat preserved within the confines of the former channel of the Carr Dike. This material has the potential to produce a significant palaeoenvironmental data-set to further enhance an understanding of the human and environmental activities across the site.
