I suspect that HS2 may have a similar effect to the work done on the A1 in that it meant archaeologists got to do a lot of work on the route of a major transport corridor.
Given geography, they have been major transport corridors for a long time

I expect we're going to see quite a lot of stuff come out

oh to be a finds officer....
