Metadata: 2002, Wessex Archaeology, Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm, Environmental Assessment: Archaeology
Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by Hydrosearch Associates Ltd to prepare an archaeological desk-based assessment of the potential effects on archaeological remains of the proposed Gunfleet Sands offshore wind farm development off the South Essex coast and the associated connection works on land. The principle sources consulted in this assessment were: Records of wrecks, obstructions and casualties from the National Monuments Record, Records held by the receiver of wreck, records held by the United Kingdom Hydrographic office (UKHO), Records of known archaeological sites and finds from the Essex Heritage Conservation Record (EHCR), Records of known terrestrial sites and finds from NMR, Aerial photographs held by the NMR and geophysical data provided by Titan Environmental Surveys Ltd. A site visit was undertaken on the 7th and 8th May 2002 in order to examine the line of the cable route, on the foreshore and inland, at Holland-on-Sea. The inspection was carried out on such areas as were publicly and safely accessible. The outcome of this assessment is for potential development mitigation to be implemented for both maritime and terrestrial elements. The maritime element, development mitigation includes: exclusion zones around the significant geophysical anomalies, archaeological assessment of any further geophysical and/or vibrocore surveys; archaeological involvement in any pre-disturbance surveys. For terrestrial elements, development mitigation includes: archaeological assessment of any vibrocore surveys within the inter-tidal zone and on the foreshore; further trial pitting as required following the core assessments; and a range of potential further work inland that will depend upon the construction methodology employed. It is proposed that all aspects of any further archaeological work be detailed within a written scheme of investigation.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5468 |
| 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. | 2002, Wessex Archaeology, Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm, Environmental Assessment: Archaeology |
| 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. | d40efe2dd4185ea69ac49b5b17d2e4ab |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 1544 |
| 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 | 2002-05-07 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2002-05-08 |
| 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 |
