NHER 66348 (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 61).
This survey identified nothing of definite archaeological interest. The only responses of note are a number of scattered discrete anomalies that are regarded as being of undetermined origin and therefore potentially represent pit-type features. Although various fragmentary, sinuous linear anomalies were also recorded these are all most likely natural 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 (P2TT78; Trenches 699-714).
The 16 trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits. No unstratified finds were recovered.
