November 2021-March 2022. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable (Area 63).
This survey recorded little of potential archaeological interest. Although several fragmentary linear anomalies were identified these are quite irregular and most likely natural in origin.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
