Clockwise P−T−t paths of late Neoarchean high-pressure pelitic granulites from the Qingyuan terrane, eastern North China Craton

•Clockwise P–T paths with ITD and subsequent IBC segments were retrieved from HP pelitic granulites of Qingyuan terrane, eastern North China Craton.•Monazite U–Pb dating reveals the peak or near peak metamorphic ages of ∼2.49 Ma from HP pelitic granulites.•A subduction−collision environment at the late Neoarchean was supported in the eastern North China Craton.
