Metadata: Weymouth Pavilion Marina: Archaeological Assessment of Geophysical Data
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs, on behalf of Fenton Holloway to carry out an archaeological assessment of geophysical data as part of evaluation works for the proposed development of Weymouth Pavilion marina, approximately centred on 368670 79140 (BNG). The data consisted of sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, magnetometer and multibeam echosounder data which had been acquired by Fugro Survey Limited and borehole logs recorded by Fugro Seacore Limited. This assessment focussed on the potential for remnant terrestrial landscapes that may contain terrestrial archaeological material dating to time of lower sea level; and the potential for the remains of maritime craft or aircraft of cultural heritage importance within the area that may be impacted upon by the proposed scheme. From the assessment of the borehole logs it appears that the scheme will pose no threat to palaeo-landsurfaces which have been inundated by marine transgression, as these deposits in the area lie below the proposed dredge depth of the scheme. Four sites of archaeological interest were identified from the geophysical data, one of which is a small wreck site while the remaining three are though to be debris which may prove to be relatively modern in origin. A further 34 sites were identified from the geophysical data although these are likely to be modern debris. The majority of these sites were magnetic anomalies for which no corresponding features could be identified in the sidescan sonar data and are therefore likely to be buried objects.

| 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. | Weymouth Pavilion Marina: 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. | 911b23ad-1f00-49e8-9d58-28209f9fca08 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | wessexar1-502175 |
| 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 | 2008-03-12 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2008-04-30 |
| 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'. | unknown |
