NHER 66382 (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).

December 2021. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of proposed Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore substation site (Area 3).
This survey revealed no responses of obvious archaeological significance. A single north-north-west to south-south-east aligned linear anomaly and a two discrete anomalies in the central part of the site are the only anomalies of note and all are regarded as being of undetermined origin. The majority of the other linear anomalies identified are probably the result of recent agricultural activity.
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 (P2TT109 and P2TT110; Trenches 907-920).
The 14 trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
