This analysis aims to characterise and comment on the geoarchaeological potential of the seabed affected by Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm (Westermost Rough). Westermost Rough is located 8 km off the West Yorkshire coast at Tunstall, and the maritime area encompassed by the wind farm is 35 km2. The cores were collected by the geotechnical contractors Fugro, UK for geotechnical engineering purposes. The palaeoenvironmental information contained within the cores can be archaeologically important, and the study of these was undertaken in order to mitigate the impact of the project. This work is in accordance with, and is as specified in, the Archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (WMR Ltd, 2013). Maritime Archaeology Ltd assessed 14 borehole logs and 43 vibrocore logs provided by Fugro UK for archaeological potential. The work was conducted according to the method outlined in Offshore Geotechnical Investigations and Historic Environment Analysis: Guidance for the Renewable Energy Sector (COWRIE, 2011) and followed a staged assessment process.

An additional recording sheet was also provided which would allow the recording of any material which may be of particular interest to the monitoring archaeologist (Appendix A). The objective of the workshop was to rapidly highlight sediments of archaeological interest when the information was made available via the Fugro UK FTP site. Areas subject to geoarchaeological analysis were: - 14km Northern export cable corridor with 200 m buffer. - Offshore wind turbine placement. - Offshore substation placement. On receipt of the photographic and documentary evidence, the monitoring archaeologist assessed the stratigraphy and sedimentology of each individual core and vibrocore and the photographic evidence where available was also examined. The results for each borehole are detailed in sequence and provide the following details: - Lat/long position in WGS84 geographic; - Depth below sea level; - Photographic evidence available; - Overview of the sedimentology/stratigraphy; - Presence/absence of archaeologically/palaeoenvironmentally sensitive deposits and their potential, if any, and; - Depth at which bedrock was reached.
