Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lymington Technical Services Ltd to prepare an offshore archaeological desk-based study and impact assessment to support proposed works to construct a new floating pontoon for access to Brownsea Island castle. In order to install the pontoon, the existing rock armour that limits erosion will be removed and four piles will be put installed, utilising a spud-legged crane barge. The rock armour will then be reinstated and inspected by divers to ensure adequate replacement. The Search Area comprises a 1 km buffer around the Brownsea Island proposed pontoon location (or Site) while the Study Area comprises a 50 m buffer around the site. Within the Search Area there are the following features: 13 Grade ll Listed Buildings; seven recorded wrecks in the Dorset Historic Environment Record and National Record of the Historic Environment databases; an anchorage; one submerged findspot and one terrestrial findspot; and potential for buried remains of seabed prehistory dating from the Palaeolithic to the Mesolithic and shipwrecks dating from the Neolithic to modern period. The assessment concludes that, although there is potential for archaeological deposits to be located within the Site, current design proposals indicate that the limited scale of development will have minimal impact. |
