Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DONG Energy to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation ahead of construction of a cable route associated with an offshore windfarm. The onshore cable route runs from Horseshoe Point in the parish of North Coates (NGR TA 380 021), east of Tetney, in a broadly north-west direction towards the existing Killingholme power station (NGR TA 152 189), where a new High Voltage Alternating Current substation will be built. The archaeological mitigation included pre-construction topographic earthwork survey of 11 extant historic landscape features initially identified in a LiDAR assessment for the scheme. The topographic surveys were undertaken to Historic England Level 1 standard to record the location, extent, profile and dimensions of extant earthwork features. Extensive archaeological investigations (including evaluation and excavation phases) in addition to this survey were undertaken as part of the mitigation phase and overarching Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm Project and these are recorded in linked OASIS records. The surveys successfully recorded topographic features at all 11 survey areas identifying likely medieval features associated with salt production in the southern part of the scheme (Areas 1 to 3) and ridge and furrow in the north (Areas 6 and 8 to 11). The field surveys correlated with the LiDAR assessment except in survey Areas 4 and 7. At Area 4, the features that were evident in the LiDAR assessment could not be identified on the ground, possibly due to modern ploughing methods. Area 7 showed no visible sign of the ridge and furrow identified from the LiDAR data though the survey did identify a relevant feature in the form of a large mound with an associated bank. A long bank feature recorded at Area 5 is most likely a natural feature which may have been archaeologically modified. |
