Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Galloper Wind Farm Ltd (‘the Client’) to undertake an Archaeological Watching Brief on the excavation of geotechnical test pits to evaluate the ground conditions prior to development associated with a new onshore substation and related infrastructure for Galloper Offshore Wind Farm on land at Sizewell Gap, Leiston, Suffolk (Figure 1) centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 646624 262742 (hereafter, ‘the Site’).The watching brief monitored the excavation of 36 test pits carried out using an 8 ton rubber tracked 3600 mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket 1.5m wide or a toothless bucket 0.6m wide. Ten of the excavated test pits measured c. 4m x 3m in plan and c. 2.5m deep, this was to enable safe access into the test pits to allow testing to be carried out. The remaining 26 test pits measured c. 2m x 0.6m with depths ranging from 2.5m – 4.5m.Test pits 15, 19, 20 were re-located between 2 and 5m from their original location due to live services, test pit 17 was moved c. 5m south-west to avoid extant trees and test pit 5 was moved c. 12m south to avoid crops.No finds or features of archaeological significance were noted during the watching brief. Only made ground, natural soils and geology were observed. The archaeological monitoring took place between the 3rd and 11th June 2013.
