Introduction
This collection comprises images, reports, and scanned site records from archaeological trial trenching carried out by MOLA Headland Infrastructure at the Fulmer to Haste Hill Pipeline Diversion in Hillingdon, Greater London during March 2018.
Project Summary
Trial trenching was undertaken and carried out in accordance with specific guidance produced by HS2, as contained within the Technical Standard Specification for historic environment investigations (HS2-HS2-EV-STD-000-000035), the Generic Written Scheme of Investigation: Historic Environment Research and Delivery Strategy (GWSI: HERDS) (HS2-HS2-EV-STR-000-000015), and the LS-WSI for Trial Trenching and Archaeological Recording, Cadent Gas 48" and 18" main, Colne Valley (Gas) (1EW02-CSJ-EV-PRO-S002-000001).
The trial trenching evaluation was required to determine the presence or absence of archaeological features, structures, deposits, artefacts and ecofacts within the site. The objective of the investigation was to gain information about the archaeological resource to support an assessment of its character, extent, knowledge value and potential to contribute to specific objectives.
The aims of the trial trenching were to evaluate the extent, characterise the nature, and assess the significance of any archaeological remains within the survey boundaries, as well as to assess any change to the significance of identified heritage assets as a result of the detailed design. Lastly, to suggest measures, if appropriate and feasible, for further archaeological investigation to mitigate identified significant impacts.
Re-Use Value Statement
This archive can be used independently and/or in in conjunction with the rest of HS2 datasets in order to inform the archaeological features and periods unearthed on this route as interpretations of landscape archaeology. This can also function as a guide to digital archiving for future infrastructure projects benefiting both the commercial sector and the research community.
