Metadata: 2009, Wessex Archaeology, Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm, Archaeological Assessment of Marine Geophysical Data
Abstract:
An archaeological assessment of geophysical data as part of evaluation works for the Ormonde Offshore Windfarm and associated export cable route. The site lies within the eastern Irish Sea off Barrow-in-Furness, with the cable route coming ashore near Heysham. The geophysical data consisted of sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiler and magnetometer data, which were acquired by Gardline Geosurvey Limited in 2004 and 2008.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4968 |
| 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. | 2009, Wessex Archaeology, Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm, Archaeological Assessment of Marine 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. | 827e7d6098df5c8fa1bf9738cc70fed3 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 5396 |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-17 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | An archaeological assessment of geophysical data as part of evaluation works for the Ormonde Offshore Windfarm and associated export cable route. The site lies within the eastern Irish Sea off Barrow-in-Furness, with the cable route coming ashore near Heysham. The geophysical data consisted of sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiler and magnetometer data, which were acquired by Gardline Geosurvey Limited in 2004 and 2008. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The aim of the archaeological assessment is to determine whether or not any sites of archaeological potential lie within the study area. The objectives of the review of the geophysical data were as follows: ?? to identify, locate and characterise any previously unrecorded marine sites of potential archaeological interest; ?? to identify the presence of sedimentary deposits with archaeological potential. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Presentation type: digital representation of a primarily textual item (can contain illustrations also) Origin: Wessex Archaeology |
