NHER 66377 (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 8001).
Although this survey identified a range of anomalies none were deemed to be potentially archaeologically significant. There was no evidence for surviving sub-surface remains associated with three linear cropmarks previously mapped at this location (two part of a small group recorded as NHER 52029 and one part of a group recorded as NHER 52025)
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 (P3TT31; Trenches 1249-1253).
The five trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits.
Although one the trenches coincided with a previously mapped cropmark (part of a small group recorded as NHER 52029) there was no evidence for surviving sub-surface remains.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
