Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy, on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited to prepare an archaeological assessment and to undertake archaeological interpretation of geophysical data for the proposed Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm (OWF). Race Bank OWF will be situated approximately 27 km off the north Norfolk coast, north of the proposed Docking Shoal OWF. Following the geophysical data audit, it was agreed that the archaeological assessment of the geophysical datasets would be undertaken for an area comprising the proposed Race Bank wind farm footprint and a 500 m buffer zone surrounding it. This area was named the Principal Study Area. A second area, comprising segments of the export cable route that had not previously been assessed, is included as the Extended Cable Route Study Area. Searches for known archaeological material were conducted within the two study areas, which covers a total of 112.8 square kilometres. Information was sought from a wide range of sources, including the Historic Environment Record, the 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. The archaeological heritage is discussed with particular reference to the maritime and prehistoric archaeology of the area. Maritime sites and the potential for the survival of former prehistoric land-surfaces offshore form the main focus. The assessment identified 193 known wrecks and geophysical anomalies, of which 19 were recommended to have construction exclusion zones created around them. The remaining 174 anomalies were recommended for further archaeological investigation.
