Description

2015: Wessex Archaeology were contracted by East Anglia ONE Limited to undertake an archaeological assessment of geophysical data acquired from the nearshore section of the East Anglia ONE offshore cable route. This assessment aimed to inform the proposed geotechnical sampling locations by identifying both any possible seabed anomalies and palaeogeographic features of archaeological potential. The study area for this assessment comprises a polygon up to approximately 950m offshore, and then an additional narrow corridor extending approximately another 2.9km further along the planned cable route. The geophysical data assessed included sidescan sonar (SSS), marine magnetometer, multibeam echosounder (MBES) and sub-bottom profiler (SBP) data acquired by Aspect Land and Hydrographic Surveys Ltd. (ALHS) during August 2015.
