NHER 66124 (Negative evidence record) - Site with no evidence for archaeologically-significant remains

May 2018. Desk-based Assessment.
Environmental Impact Assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm on the historic environment. This study incorporated the results of an initial walkover survey and the first phases of geophysical survey.
See relevant chapter of Environmental Statement and associated appendices for further detail (S1).

November 2021-March 2022. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable (Area 103).
This survey of five discrete small areas identified no anomalies of obvious archaeological significance. The only response of note was a semi-circular anomaly of uncertain origin in the north-west corner of the site.
It should though be noted that much of the site was covered by spreads of ferrous debris and other broad areas of magnetic disturbance, which may have masked any other anomalies present.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.

February-June 2022. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable (P2TT01; Trenches 100 and 104).
The two trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits. The overburden was shallow and there was clear evidence for modern disturbance – which was almost certainly associated with activity at Weybourne Camp (NHER 11335).
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
