NHER 66324 (Negative evidence record) - Site with no evidence for archaeologically-significant remains

May 2018. Desk-based Assessment.
Environmental Impact Assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm on the historic environment. This study incorporated the results of an initial walkover survey and the first phases of geophysical survey.
See relevant chapter of Environmental Statement and associated appendices for further detail (S1).

November 2021-March 2022. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable (Area 47).
This survey identified numerous amorphous discrete anomalies and irregular linear anomalies. These are mostly thought to be the result of variations in the underlying geology, with only a selection regarded as being of undetermined origin. These potentially represent archaeologically-significant remains, although a natural original is probably more likely.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.

February-June 2022. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Hornsea Project Three offshore wind farm onshore cable (P2TT61; Trenches 604-609).
The six trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits.
No finds were recovered.
