Summary

A geophysical survey of this site in 2021/2022 recorded nothing of obvious archaeological significant. The only responses of note were a number of irregular curvilinear anomalies, most of which were probably of natural origin. Subsequent trial trenching in 2022 also had largely negative results, with only two undated ditches recorded.

November 2021-March 2022. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable (Area 53).
This survey identified nothing of definite archaeological significance. A number of irregular and curvilinear anomalies regarded as being of undetermined origin potentially represent archaeological remains although most are probably the result of natural variations in the soils or underlying geology.
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 (P3TT25; Trenches 977-984).
The eight trenches excavated at this location revealed only two ditches, one aligned north-to-south and the other east-to-west. Neither produced any dating evidence.
