Abstract:		 Following evaluation of the site by interpretation of the results of window sample cores, an archaeological excavation was conducted for Centrica Energy during the late autumn of 2010 ahead of the proposed expansion of the power station. The planned building works impact on a north-south aligned sea bank earthwork (NHER 28348) which is situated immediately to the east of the power station. As part of the mitigation works, three wide, stepped trenches were excavated through the sea bank using a combination of machine and hand excavation in order to examine the development of the bank and to ascertain its date. The profile through the sea bank revealed two episodes of bank construction and a final re-structuring phase. Between the first and second banks there appears to have been a period of natural deposition of windblown sand and possible erosion. A single fragment of baked clay which was likely to have been of Roman date was found within one of the earliest layers of the first bank. However the baked clay fragment is probably residual and the date of the first bank is more likely to have been constructed in the Late Saxon of early medieval period. This report summarises the results of the excavation, quantifies the records and provides an Assessment of that information. This is followed by an Updated Project Design which identifies the further work considered appropriate to complete the Analysis stage of the project including how the project's results may be disseminated.
