Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by ABPmer, on behalf of CEMEX UK Marine, Southampton, to prepare a marine archaeological desk-based assessment, that includes an assessment of geotechnical vibrocores and available geophysical survey data, and a high-level Environmental Impact Assessment for marine aggregate extraction Area 1804 (1 and 2). The area is located in the Anglian dredging region ENE of Lowestoft, Suffolk. The known and potential archaeological resource within Area 1804 (1 and 2) is summarised as comprising: the potential for organic deposits containing material of palaeogeographical interest across the study area; 29 seabed features comprising five named shipwrecks (across seven records), two unidentified wreck sites, five areas of debris (three of which area may be associated with wreck sites), two linear features interpreted as rope/chain (one of which may be associated with a wreck site), ten areas of possible debris/natural features (one of which may be associated with a wreck site), and three natural features; the potential for additional currently unknown maritime and aviation seabed features to exist; and a Historic Seascape Character that includes, fishing, navigation and industry. There is potential for the proposed dredging activities to impact as yet unknown archaeological sites related to palaeogeography, shipwrecks and aircraft crash sites. |
