Abstract: |
In 2011 Wessex Archaeology commissioned by RWE npower renewables (‘the Client’) undertook a pre-determination archaeological field evaluation in advance of the submission of a planning application to build a new substation and associated infrastructure on land at Broom Covert, Sizewell Gap, Leiston, Suffolk (Figure 1) centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 646624 262742. A prior archaeological desk-based assessment (WA 2009) identified the Site to be located within an area of high archaeological potential relating to possible prehistoric and medieval archaeological remains, as indicated by a concentric ring ditch visible on aerial photographs and recorded artefact scatters. Results from archaeological works associated with the neighbouring onshore infrastructure for the Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm also revealed significant archaeological deposits within the area.This document sets out the methodologies and standards employed by Wessex Archaeology in order to undertake the evaluation and required the approval of the SCCAS/CT prior to its implementation. |
