Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Royal Haskoning DHV, on behalf of Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm Limited, to undertake a pre-construction archaeological assessment of geophysical data acquired by Fugro GB Marine Limited in 2018. The Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm is a development consisting of 100 turbines (plus eight spare locations) and their associated inter-array cabling with two export cable burial corridors (West and East). These are laid out in 10 Anchor area blocks, with the Export Cable Routes (ECRs) centred within a separate anchoring corridor. The data for this assessment comprised sidescan sonar, multibeam echosounder, marine magnetometer and gradiometer datasets and these were used to assess the presence of seabed features of archaeological potential. The results of this assessment were then compared to the results of the previous archaeological assessments undertaken between 2008 and 2016. The assessment of the geophysical data within the study area resulted in a total of 1978 anomalies identified as being of possible archaeological interest. A total of 98 anomalies were assigned an A1 archaeological rating (anthropogenic origin of archaeological interest). A total of 1869 anomalies were assigned an A2 archaeological rating (uncertain origin of possible archaeological interest). A total of seven items were assigned an A3 archaeological discrimination (historic record of possible archaeological interest with no corresponding geophysical anomaly). A further four items have been interpreted as non-archaeological features. A total of 99 anomalies have been assigned AEZs of a 50m or 100m buffer around the current feature extents or recorded position. |
