NHER 66133 (Monument record) - Post-medieval field boundary and undated possible linear features

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 401).
This survey identified no anomalies of obvious archaeological significance. The most notable responses were a number of weak linear anomalies, although these were all categorised as being of undetermined origin. The remaining anomalies were mostly thought to be either natural or agricultural in origin.
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 (P3TT03; Trenches 1014-1017).
The four trenches excavated at this location revealed only a single west-north-west to east-south-east aligned ditch. Although no dating evidence was recovered this feature appears to coincide with a former field boundary depicted on the Kelling Tithe map of 1838 (S2).
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
