Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited to prepare an assessment of the potential effect upon archaeological remains from the construction of a cable route through the Wash. The cable route will serve the proposed Race Bank, Docking Shoal and Lincs Offshore Wind Farm developments off the Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts to the north of the Wash. A broad Cable Route Study Area was created by placing a 500m buffer zone around the proposed cable route corridor, forming an area of 187 square kilometres covering the eastern half of The Wash. Information was sought from a wide range of sources, including the Historic Environment Record, National Monuments Record and the UK Hydrographic Office. Archaeological interpretation and assessment of geophysical data was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology and is included in this report also. This report sets out the methodology employed in carrying out the study and discusses archaeological heritage with particular reference to the maritime and prehistoric archaeology 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 archaeology within the Cable Route Study Area includes: 219 known wrecks and geophysical anomalies, 28 of which require exclusion zones and 87 documented losses. Potential archaeology comprises wrecks from various periods, stray finds of shipborne debris and the potential for the presence of submerged prehistoric land-surfaces dating from 700,000 BP to 4,000 BC.
