July 2013–April 2014. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Dudgeon Offshore Windfarm onshore cable (Field 33).
This survey identified a north-east to south-west aligned dipolar linear anomaly that coincides with the line of a former field boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Six-inch map (S2). This may represent the line of a service running adjacent to this boundary.
The only other response of note was an amorphous discrete anomaly at the western edge of the site that may represent an infilled pit or hollow. Scattered dipolar spikes probably represent ferrous material on or close to the surface (most likely modern debris).
See report (S3) for further details.
