Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment of the route of the proposed East Coast High Pressure Pipeline between Bishop Aukland, County Durham and Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire was undertaken. The assessment collected and collated information on over 2100 archaeological sites and findspots/scatters within a 3km-wide data-collection area, and within this, a detailed 1 km study corridor. The sites were put into one of five categories from A to E, ranging from Scheduled Ancient Monument to single findspots. Almost 50% of all sites were categorized 'B' and 'C': those considered to be of sufficient archaeological importance to be avoided prior to any initial field survey. Approximately 15% (60) of Category B and C sites within the 1km study corridor were lying in the direct path of the proposed pipeline route. All but four of the Category B sites, and all but 27 of the Category C sites, were to be avoided by route modifications as recommended by Network Archaeology Ltd. It was proposed that the whole of the pipeline route should be subject to initial evaluation (fieldwalking, topographical survey and geophysical survey)all Category B, C and D sites crossed by the proposed route should be receive detailed scanning. Attention was also drawn to the presence of two major wetland zones traversed by the pipeline route (The Humber Wetland and Southeast Lincolnshire Fenlands). [AIP]
