Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by National Grid IFA 2 Ltd. on behalf of National Grid to undertake a Stage 1 geoarchaeological assessment of geotechnical data acquired in support of the Interconnexion France-Angleterre 2 (IFA2) which is a high voltage electrical interconnector between British and French transmission systems. This report covers parts of IFA2 that lie within the UK Exclusive Economic Zone which includes a high voltage alternating current (HVAC) link between Daedalus and Chilling in Southampton Water and a high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable route extending from Chilling, ~62 km offshore into the English Channel. A total of 101 geotechnical vibrocore logs were reviewed to determine the geoarchaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential of deposits recovered. Associated Cone Penetration Tests and seismic profiles were used to support interpretations. Based on the results of this Stage 1 marine geoarchaeological assessment, deposits recovered in vibrocores from the IFA2 HVDC and HVAC cable corridor have low geoarchaeological potential and no further Stage 2 geoarchaeological works are recommended. |
