Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Your Energy Limited through their Consultant Terence O'Rourke, to undertake an archaeological field evaluation of the proposed locations of six wind turbines south of Wellow on the Isle of Wight, centred on SZ 38230 87630. The trenches were excavated to investigate the footprints of the proposed wind turbines, their associated crane pads and a temporary construction compound, and were situated in a number of agricultural fields along a 1.5km east-west aligned transect. The fieldwork was undertaken between 4th and 9th January 2006. The purpose of the investigation was to inform the planning process with regard to archaeological matters during the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to support the planning application. A total of seven 1.8m-wide trenches of either 25m or 50m length were excavated. The investigation identified a low level of archaeology below subsoil level in three out of the seven trenches, as well as modern land drains and evidence of recent chalk quarrying. In all cases the features were of limited dimensions, undated and most likely served drainage functions. Trenches 1, 2 and 3 located in the lower-lying terrain, generally below 50m above Ordnance Datum, exposed varied and complex substrata. Previous work in the vicinity has demonstrated that interpretation of these deposits can be difficult. Differentiation between natural in situ geology and re-worked colluvium can be problematic. There exists therefore some potential for archaeological remains to be within or beneath these deposits, should they prove to be of colluvial origin.
