Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a post-construction archaeological monitoring assessment of geophysical data acquired from the Humber Gateway Offshore Wind Farm in 2016. This was undertaken to satisfy the conditions for archaeological monitoring as set out in the Humber Gateway Post Construction Monitoring Plan. The Humber Gateway is an E.ON development consisting of 73 turbines and their associated interarray cabling, with two export cables. The wind farm covers an area of 35 km². The assessment data comprised sidescan sonar and multibeam echosounder and this was used to assess the presence of seabed features of archaeological potential. The results of this assessment were then compared to the results of the archaeological assessment of data acquired by Osiris Projects in 2012 and 2013 and the subsequent ground-truthing surveys. This assessment has resulted in a total of 818 anomalies being identified. Of these, 732 features have been interpreted as being of possible archaeological potential - a total of eight anomalies were assigned an A1 archaeological rating (anthropogenic origin of archaeological interest) and a total of 724 anomalies were assigned an A2 archaeological rating (uncertain origin of possible archaeological interest). In addition, 86 previously identified anomalies were reinterpreted as non-archaeological or non-impact features. |
