Abstract:

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CEMEX UK Marine Ltd. (Cemex) and Volker Dredging Ltd. (Volker) to undertake an archaeological assessment of geophysical survey data to inform the licence application for Area 340. The data consisted of sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry data acquired in 2012 by EMU Ltd. The review included an assessment of these data in addition to the results of the previous archaeological assessment carried out by EMU Ltd (EMU 2012a). The chief aim of this report is to provide an archaeological baseline interpretation of known and potential archaeological sites; and to assess the area for any new sites and anomalies of potential archaeological interest identified within the Study Area and associated buffer zone. In total 26 geophysical anomalies were identified within dredging Area 340, and a further 22 geophysical anomalies were identified within the 500m buffer zone. Five of the anomalies corresponded with anomalies identified in previous reports (EMU Ltd. 2012). Of these anomalies two wrecks have been identified within the Area 340 Study Area and one wreck identified within the 500m buffer zone. As such they have each been assigned a 100m Archaeological Exclusion Zone as part of the mitigation strategy.
