Abstract:		 A total of 15 sites were identified in the terrestrial and inter-tidal sections of the study area. Most of these were 19th and 20th century industrial sites, including sand and gravel extraction pits, boundary stones, and arsenic works, a power station and chemical factory. There was also a possible Iron Age/early medieval round (defended settlement), a 19th century rifle range, a WWII minefield, some 20th century holiday chalets and a modern cricket ground. A total of 27 wreck sites were identified within 2km of the proposed cable route. Assessment of geophysical data from the main Wave Hub area and cable route revealed a large iron wreck, probably the Helene, a steamer torpedoed by a U-boat in 1918. A number of smaller targets may also have been of archaeological interest. It was recommended that the cable route should be adjusted to avoid the wreck site and that the smaller targets should be investigated further. [Au(abr)]
