A spade and trowel are stuck into the ground next to each other, next to a half-excavated archaeological ditch. The surroundings are of a large orange sandy-clay excavation area, with fields and trees beyond and a cloudy blue sky above.

#TeamCFA has been busy in Gloucestershire, digging and recording a large open-area excavation. There is known prehistoric, Roman, and medieval activity in the wider area and we're looking forward to seeing what kind of remains we've uncovered!

We're ringing in the new year with a fantastic #RingDitch!

All of our offices are fully open and #TeamCFA is back out in the field, beginning a new year of excavation and discovery. We can't wait to see what we'll find in 2025!
