May 2020-January 2021. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of onshore cable for Norfolk Vanguard and Boreas Offshore Wind Farms (Area F086).
The area examined coincided with two north-north-east to south-south-west aligned cropmarks in the southern group, both of which were associated with linear geophysical anomalies. One of these features also coincided with a former field boundary depicted on the North Walsham tithe map (S1).
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.

October 2020-June 2021. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of onshore cable for Norfolk Vanguard and Boreas Offshore Wind Farms.
A trench excavated at this location coincided with one of the north-north-east to south-south-west aligned cropmarks in the southern group. Although a corresponding ditch was identified no dating evidence recovered. This feature was though associated with the former field boundary depicted on the North Walsham tithe map (S1).
