No full textThis digital archive comprises images, spreadsheet, vector, and site record data from an archaeological evaluation at Thorpe Mandeville, Northamptonshire. The work was undertaken by High Speed Two Ltd in April till August 2021. The parish boundary evaluation aimed to investigate the origins, development and use of parish boundaries and important hedgerows within three counties along the HS2 Central scheme, through the excavation of 11 trenches across nine parish boundaries.

Data from a Test Pitting at Land Parcels AC210, Buckinghamshire, 2020-2021 (HS2 Phase One)
No full textThis collection comprises of images, reports, GIS and spreadsheet data from a test pitting at land parcels AC210 , Buckinghamshire. The work was undertaken by INFRA Archaeology as part of High Speed Two Ltd, between 2020-2021. The data collected from AC210 Blank Area Testing suggests there is no potential for Early prehistoric or Early medieval settlement to be present in the locations where the test pitting was undertaken, however trial trench evaluation or archaeological monitoring has been recommended to verify these results.
This data could be used to aid the identification of and subsequent changes in industrial, agricultural, and settlement patterns throughout the area
Data from an Archaeological Excavation and Post-Excavation Assessment at Dews Farm, Hillingdon Fields, Colne Valley, South Embankment, Hillingdon, Greater London, 2020-2022 (HS2 Phase One)
No full textThis collection comprises reports, site photographs, a vector site plan, spreadsheets, scanned site records and harris matrices from an excavation and post-excavation asessment at Dews Farm. The excavation was undertaken by MOLA Headland Infrastructure on behalf of High Speed Two Ltd. between November and December 2020 and forms part of Phase One of the High Speed 2 (HS2) rail project. The investigation revealed limited evidence of probable transient Prehistoric activity in the form of scattered flint finds and three linear features assigned into the medieval period. Most of the dating evidence obtained from the remaining investigated features points to a post-medieval use of the field for cultivation and grazing
Site Data from an Archaeological Excavation at Park Street Burial Ground, Birmingham, West Midlands, 2018-2019 (HS2 Phase One)
No full textThis collection comprises reports, site photos, spreadsheet data, vector survey data and an archive decision record from an archaeological excavation at Park Street Burial Ground undertaken by MOLA Headland Infrastructure on behalf of High Speed Two Ltd. Work was undertaken between July 2018 and May 2019 and forms part of Phase One of the High Speed 2 (HS2) rail project. The archaeology recorded during the works at Park Street has greatly increased our understanding of 19th‐century Birmingham and its people. The combination of inhumations and associated goods recorded during the excavations has allowed a rare glimpse into a town at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, as well as product manufacture and funerary traditions

Digital Archive from Construction Integrated Recording at Greatworth Well, Northamptonshire, 2023-2024 (HS2 Phase One)
No full textThis collection consists of images, spreadsheets, 3D models, a report, GIS and site record data from a construction integrated recording by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd. Work occurred on Greatworth Well, Lower Greatworth, Thorpe Mandeville in Northamptonshire, from July 2023 and April 2024. Two deposits were identified within the well. The lower deposit was a wet silty clay, with stone inclusions, this deposit likely represented infilling of the well during and after its use. Overlying this deposit was fill. This was a deposit mostly formed of large loose stones, with some wet silty clay. A skeleton was discovered in the bottom section of this deposit. The skeleton was placed in a folded/crouched position and was likely deposited within the well before being covered by deliberate deposit

No full textThis collection comprises of data from the HS2 Phase One Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including data from the central area of HS2 Phase 1 (C252), which was submitted with the hybrid Bill and Environmental Statement to Parliament in November 2013
HS2 Historic Environment Digital Archive
No full textHigh Speed Two (HS2) brought an unprecedented opportunity to explore our past through the country's largest ever linear infrastructure project. The sheer scale of discoveries, the geographical span of the project and the vast range of our history unearthed makes HS2's historic environment programme a unique chance to tell the story of Britain's past. The HS2 programme is a generational opportunity for significant knowledge creation, for engagement with people and the creation of a lasting archival and skills legacy. These three concepts underpin the approach to the historic environment set out in the Historic Environment Research and Delivery Strategy (HERDS). The discoveries made along the route of HS2 help to tell the story of our nation. From the earliest prehistoric times, Roman and Medieval we can see how people shaped and changed their landscape. The changes in rural and urban living wrought by the industrial revolution can be charted as can our more recent history from the World Wars and the 20th century
