[1] Headquartered in Edinburgh, this company expanded as a provider of commercial archaeology services in the UK.

Expansion into the Irish market led to the establishment of Headland Archaeology (Ireland) Ltd in 2000,[2] in County Cork.

In December 2011, there was a management buyout of Headland Archaeology (Ireland) Ltd; the Irish company was renamed as Rubicon Heritage Services.

This registration has been continued and was transferred to Headland Archaeology (UK) Limited during the company re-organisation in 2008.

Note that some of these projects were delivered by Headland Archaeology (Ireland) Ltd which has now left the group.
