Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy and Renewable Energy Systems Limited, on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited to undertake an audit and review of the geophysical data collected from the Docking Shoal and Race Bank Offshore Wind Farms and the associated cable route corridor in the Wash. The geophysical data consists of multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonar, magnetic and single beam shallow seismic data for each area. Following on from this review, selected data will be subjected to archaeological analysis. This report describes the methodologies used to review each data type and the results of the audit of data from the Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, covering an area of 224 square kilometres. An earlier report (WA 2006) describes the data from the Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm and the Wash Cable Route Corridor. Although there was considerable variability in quality, most datasets received for the Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm were of adequate quality for full archaeological processing and interpretation. It is recommended that all sidescan sonar, multibeam bathymetry and magnetic data collected in the Race Bank Wind Farm area and a 500 m buffer zone around the area are subjected to full geophysical analysis. For the seismic data it is recommended that only every fifth line (20%) needs to be processed. If the site plan is still undecided then it is recommended to analyse all data collected. |
