Google shut me out for some unknown reason. I have been unable to access my Blog on either Firefox or Edge, using a previously reliable, saved link. Several hours later .....two changed passwords, and a new login, here I am. I use welsh bird names on which to base my passwords, why are they suddenly unsafe? A Welsh Hackers mafia trained by the Chinese?
We've been puzzled by trenches, holes, and orange plastic fencing appearing in a field half a mile up the Happisburgh road.
A sign
water-logged trenches
and some hi-vis-clad men from a bogged down van gave a clue. An internet search delivered this.
PROJECT SUMMARY
From October 2017 to March 2018 Headland undertook a magnetometer survey, covering approximately 600 hectares, along the proposed onshore cable corridor and associated onshore project area for the Norfolk Vanguard Offshore Wind Farm, to provide further information about the archaeological potential of the cable route. This work was focused on areas identified in the Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) as potentially containing buried archaeological remains, following preliminary analysis of aerial photographs, LiDAR, and Historic Environment Record (HER) data.
PROJECT DETAILS
The survey successfully evaluated 127 Priority Archaeological Geophysical Survey Areas, identifying twenty distinct areas of archaeological activity, ranging from isolated ring-ditches to extensive areas of settlement and enclosure.
Most of these areas were previously known, although some were less extensive than had been identified by the geophysical survey, whilst several others were not known at all. These areas have been assessed as being of high archaeological potential. Anomalies at numerous other locations have been interpreted as being of possible archaeological potential, including possible field systems, trackways, isolated ditches and pits.
All very interesting. Is this the real reason why the proposed route was redirected?
Next door neighbours have been occupying some of their time doing jigsaws, they have been grateful recipients of my store. To reciprocate, they lent us a jigsaw that they had been given for Christmas. A map of Norfolk, based on their home. Their house address (ours too) is a house based jigsaw piece situated just under the one missing . They lost it, thank goodness, the dog might have eaten it
I managed some iffy photos of the female Brambling this frosty morning, no frost left where the ground feeding birds have been trampling.
We also had a visit from our first Redwing of the winter, perched high in the Silver Birch.
