Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy, on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of the potential impact upon archaeological remains from the Docking Shoal and Race Bank Offshore Wind Farms. The wind farms are situated between approximately 7.5km and 25km off the north Norfolk coast respectively, at the entrance to the Wash. A buffer zone of a minimum of one kilometre was created around each wind farm to form the Docking Shoal and the Race Bank Study Areas. Information was sought from a wide range of local and national bodies, including the Historic Environment Record maintained by Norfolk County Council, the National Monuments Record and the UK Hydrographic Office. This report sets out the methodology employed in carrying out the study and an account of the policy and legal framework affecting archaeological sites and wrecks in the UK. The archaeological heritage is discussed with particular reference to the maritime and prehistoric archaeology and history of the area. Maritime sites and the potential for the survival of former prehistoric land-surfaces offshore form the main focus of this assessment. In summary, the known and potential archaeology of the study areas comprises: 22 known wrecks and obstructions, 142 documented losses, unknown and undocumented wrecks from various periods dating back to at least the Iron Age, stray finds of ship borne debris from various periods, potential for the presence of submerged prehistoric land-surfaces dating from 7000,000 BP to 4000 BC, possibly containing archaeological data and sites.
