Old Rover Don Wind Farm: Geoarchaeological Report

Headland Archaeology was commissioned to conduct a programme of evaluation at a site near to Crowle, North Lincolnshire. This included: 1) A Terrain Electrical Conductivity survey (TEC) within the proposed construction footprint of five turbine locations for REG Windpower in order to assist in the characterization of the subsurface geology; 2) Field walking focused on the proposed footprints of turbine six and the site compound, where archaeological horizons are potentially within reach of plough disturbance; 3) An auger survey consisting of 7 auger transects, sampling turbine base micro-siting zones and compound area. The aim of the survey was to record the presence or absence of peat deposits across the areas of deep construction impacts, and to investigate the cultural and palaeoenvironmental potential of the area.
