Metadata: Barrow Offshore Wind Farm: Post construction Monitoring, Archaeological Assessment of Geophysical Data
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DONG Energy A/S on behalf of Barrow Offshore Wind Ltd to conduct an archaeological assessment of geophysical data acquired for post-construction monitoring for the Barrow Offshore Wind Farm, Lancashire centred on 480600 E, 5982550 N (WGS84 UTM zone 30N). Wessex Archaeology has previously completed a desk-based assessment of the potential impact of the scheme on the marine archaeological environment prior to its development and an archaeological protocol for the development stage of the wind farm. The previous archaeological works had defined ten exclusion zones: eight within the wind farm area and two on the cable route. The post-construction monitoring has confirmed that all the recommended exclusion zones appear to have been observed with geophysical anomalies found within all ten exclusion zones. Two new sites of high archaeological potential have been identified from the review of the post-construction monitoring survey, both of which are located on the cable route. These sites lie within areas of complex geology and may have natural origins. No sites of high archaeological potential were identified within the navigation route area.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11444 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Barrow Offshore Wind Farm: Post construction Monitoring, Archaeological Assessment of Geophysical Data |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 80570724-3af5-43ec-8e2b-8471d84749c6 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | wessexar1-502176 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-10-19 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
