Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) was commissioned by DONG energy Burbo Bank Extension (UK) Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological investigation on the proposed cable route for extension to the existing Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm in Liverpool Bay. The onshore export cable route extends from a landfill between Rhyl and Prestatyn on the coast of North Wales to a new substation at Bodelwyddan (SJ 0365 8250- SJ 0210 7345). Following a programme of trial trenching, a written scheme of investigation (WSI) provided by RPS on behalf of the client stipulated that detailed archaeological investigation should be conducted on features identified in trial trenching, as well as geoarchaeogical investigations in a number of locations along the cable route.
