Metadata: 2007, Wessex Archaeology, Lincs, Wash Cable Route Corridor Archaeological Assessment
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind Energy and Renewable Energy Systems Limited, on behalf of Centrica Renewable Energy Limited to undertake an archaeological assessment of the potential impact upon archaeological remains from the proposed cable route for three offshore wind farms; Lincs, Docking Shoal and Race Bank, the impact of which is discussed in Wessex Archaeology’s Lincs Offshore Wind Farm Archaeological Assessment, Docking Shoal and Race Bank Offshore Wind Farms Archaeological Desk-based Assessment and Docking Shoal Offshore Wind Farm Archaeological Assessment. To provide archaeological context for the DBA a broad Cable Route Study Area was created, covering the eastern half of the Wash and forming a rough rectangle of approximately 48 by 20 kilometres. Searches for known archaeological material were conducted within the Cable Route Study Area and also the Docking Shoal and Race Bank Study Areas to the north. Information was sought from a wide range of local and national bodies, including the Historic Environment Record maintained by Norfolk County Council, the National Monuments Record and the UK Hydrographic Office. The resultant data were then filtered to focus only on those sites that lie within the Wash Cable Route Corridor and a 500m buffer zone placed around it by Wessex Archaeology. The remaining data were used to inform a wider assessment of archaeological potential of the area. Archaeological interpretation and assessment of geophysical data (multibeam bathymetry, side scan sonar, magnetic and single beam shallow seismic data) was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology and is included in this report.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19149 |
| 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. | 2007, Wessex Archaeology, Lincs, Wash Cable Route Corridor Archaeological Assessment |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Wash Cable Route Corridor Archaeological Assessment |
| 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. | 96e5ffce-5060-470e-939e-1a578fe4999d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-951 |
| 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 | 2007-04-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-04-29 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This assessment is intended to inform the preparation of an Environmental Statement that will accompany the application for the Docking Shoal, Race Bank and Lincs Offshore Wind Farms. The methodology adopted reflects best practice in carrying out archaeological desk-based assessments, as codified by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA) Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-based Assessment (IFA, 2001). The approach adopted also reflects the requirements of Environmental Assessment arising from European Council Directive 85/337/EEC as amended by Directive 97/11/EC. |
