Summary

Archaeological work at this location prior to and during the installation of the electrical connection for an offshore windfarm revealed little evidence for archaeologically-significant remains. Although an initial geophysical survey recorded several discrete anomalies that could represent infilled pits or hollows, a subsequent watching brief maintained during the installation of the electrical cable recorded nothing of interest.

July 2013–April 2014. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Dudgeon Offshore Windfarm onshore cable (Field 23).
This survey identified nothing of definite archaeological significance. The only responses of note are several small positive anomalies that may represent pits, former ponds or hollows. Much larger, more amorphous anomalies are probably the result of variations in the underlying geology.
