Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DONG Energy to undertake a preliminary assessment of possible ship's timbers recovered by grab during the clearance of obstructions within the impact zone for the proposed inter-array cable routes of the Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm. This report comprises the preliminary assessment of four groups of possible ship's timbers to establish the archaeological significance of the timbers. The timbers are unlikely to be functional ship's timbers and did not display any identifying or diagnostic features as such. Each timber was in a poor condition having lost much of the original surface, and exposure on the seabed has led to marine growth and burrowing by marine organisms. Minimal evidence was found for wood working having taken place on the timbers, although many may have been split and cut to length. Dating of the timbers remains unknown, samples were taken from two of the timbers for possible future dendrochronology dating, if warranted. At present, the timbers are considered to have low archaeological significance, with no evidence for timber joinery and limited, speculative indication of preparation of the surfaces, and provide no tangible archaeological evidence.
