2002, Wessex Archaeology, Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Maritime Archaeological Assessment series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_37175155-989f-4c79-af15-a3b87ac050bb Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by AMEC Wind and Offshore Wind Power Limited to prepare an archaeological desk-based assessment of the potential impact upon archaeological remains from two proposed wind farm developments within an area of seabed off the East coast of Lincolnshire. Employing desk-based research, documentary analysis, marine geophysical surveys (including side-scan sonar and magnetometer data), field observation, consultations, and GIS studies, these projects identified a wide range of archaeological remains from prehistoric to post-medieval periods, as well as significant losses of vessels and aircraft dating from the 18th to 20th centuries. The findings underscore the region’s rich archaeological potential and continuous occupation, but also highlight the risk posed to historical and maritime assets by offshore infrastructure development. Recommended measures include the establishment of exclusion zones, rigorous ongoing monitoring, adherence to protocols such as the JNAPC Code of Practice, and implementation of detailed mitigation and reporting schemes to protect both known and undiscovered archaeological heritage throughout project planning and construction, ensuring compliance with best practice and relevant legislation. 20210517T13:50:46
