Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy and Renewable Energy Systems Ltd., on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited, to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of the potential impact upon archaeological remains from the proposed cable route for the Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm and Lincs Offshore Wind Farm. A broad Cable Route Study Area was created, covering the eastern half of the Wash in a rough rectangle of approximately 48 by 20 kilometres, measuring 718.09 square kilometres. Information was sought from a wide range of local and national bodies, including the Historic Environment Record, 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 Wash. 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 within the Study Area comprises: 40 known wrecks and obstructions, 172 documented shipping 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 and the potential for the presence of submerged prehistoric land-surfaces dating from 700,000 BP to 0 AD, possibly containing archaeological data and sites.
