A black and white drawn plan of the excavation of a roundhouse.

Two photos. The top one shows an excavated roundhouse within an archaeological site. The bottom one shows a long archaeological excavation site, stretching over a green hilly landscape.

To kick off our site retrospective celebrating our 25th anniversary, we’re going all the way to the year 2000, when the newly established CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an excavation at Ballypriorbeg, Northern Ireland and discovered two Bronze Age roundhouses, one of which was complete! #CFA25

We are so proud that SEVEN of our #MediaTrustFilms projects were winners at last week's #CFA25 🎬🌟

It was an unforgettable night celebrating collaborations between charities and filmmakers and the impact they create - and we were so pleased to be recognised again!

Excited to be at the Smiley Charity Film Awards where @fourpawsint.bsky.social are a finalist for our impactful live lamb cutting campaign film, Be Their Voice 🐑 🎥 🍿 #CFA25
