Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DONG Energy to undertake an archaeological assessment of geophysical survey data acquired by Fugro EMU in 2015 for the Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm scheme. The proposed site is located in The Wash, approximately 30 km east off the Lincolnshire coast. The Archaeological Study Area (ASA) for the current assessment comprises a 50m buffer around the current export cable routes, approximately 14.05 square kilometres. Anomalies situated outside the ASA have not been considered in this assessment and hence all other AEZs remain current and unaffected by this study. The survey comprised multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonar and magnetometer data acquisition across the whole of the export cable routes to Unexploded Ordnance survey specifications. This assessment builds on a previous assessment from 2012. In total 687 anomalies have been identified as being of possible archaeological interest within the ASA with only one being assigned an A1 archaeological discrimination. The remaining 686 anomalies were discriminated as A2 and no further AEZs are recommended. However, avoidance of these features through micro-siting is recommended if they are to be directly impacted by development. If avoidance is not possible then ground-truthing of these features is recommended to establish their archaeological value.
