Excavations at Colne Fen, Earith: The Holme Fieldsystem.

Hanson Aggregates Ltd.,in advance of mineral extraction, commissioned this archaeological excavation in a southern extension to the Colne Fen, Earith quarry (TL538496/276616). Accordingly, in the spring of 2001 a programme of evaluation fieldwork was undertaken across the field (Regan 2001), which eventually led to the opening of a 4.4ha area that was excavated, between 24th May 2002 and 24th July 2002, by a team from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU)
