NHER 66376 (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 7901).
This survey identified no anomalies of obvious archaeological significance.
The only responses of potential interest were a curvilinear anomaly at the eastern end of the field and a number of adjacent small discrete anomalies. These are all regarded as being of undetermined origin and therefore not necessarily associated with archaeological remains.
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 (P2TT106; Trenches 852-858).
The seven trenches excavated at this location revealed only a single feature, which was found to be a natural hollow.
