Time Team

Finds on the fairway.The Time Team are on a golf course on the Isle of Man to investigate the remains of a keeill - a small stone chapel. Although thought to have been built by the Vikings, new finds suggest there is much more to this site than just the Vikings

There's No Place Like RomeThe Romans were here early on after the conquest; a gatehouse has already been excavated on the site - producing pottery and evidence of a military presence.

School Diggers.Today, Hooke Court is a school, but it's buildings date from the time of the English Civil War. Parts of the building suggest that it dates from an even earlier time and that it was once a much grander building.

The Druids' Last Stand.An aerial photograph revealed some enigmatic earthworks just outside the town of Amlwch, Anglesey. The druidic priesthood was based here until it's bloody supression at the hands of the Romans.

Shorncliffe Redoubt.On the 1st February 1793, the new French Republic declared war on Britain. Bracing itself for an expected invasion, the British began improving her defences. One year later, Parliament bought land at Shorncliffe and built a redoubt [a fort], a piece of land which was considered as an obvious point of attack from the French.

A Port and Stilton.The discovery of an almost complete Roman cheese press, along with countless other Roman finds leads Time Team to Cambridgeshire.

A Tale of Two Villages.In the village of Wicken, there is a long-running dispute as to who owns the oldest plot of land in the village. The discovery of an ancient church, a burial ground and Saxon activity give the Time Team plenty to do.

No Stone Unturned. The team arrive at a field outside Cheshire where metal-detector enthusiasts have made several valuable finds in the past, hinting the site was once a very active Roman settlement. As the dig progresses, their initial predictions are confounded and the team must redouble their efforts if they are to solve the mystery.

The Domesday Mill. Heading to the River Otter in Devon they excavate the site of a watermill that dates back to the Domesday Book of 1088 and beyond, yet the last mill building on the site was pulled down as recently as the 1960s.

The Cheyne Gang. Archaeologists in Chesham in Buckinghamshire believe they've found the remains of a medieval building under the manicured lawns of a Georgian house.

A local metal detectorist has been visiting the same field in Godstone in Surrey for the past 15 years, and in that time has discovered a huge collection of Roman finds. Around 600 coins, many of them of high value, have been recovered from the field, as well as a collection of brooches and other more unusual items, including what looks like a metal sceptre handle. Local archaeologists believe that the number and value of the finds means that they may have been deliberate offerings, pointing towards a possible Roman temple or religious site. The possible sceptre handle is similar to ones that have been found at another Roman religious site nearby and may have been used by priests. The site is positioned close to a Roman road connecting London to the south coast and has never been excavated, although English Heritage did commission a geophysics survey. Local archaeologists have been wondering what lies beneath the surface for many years, and called in Time Team to help them find out.

The Abbey Habit. Tony Robinson and the team travel to Poulton, Cheshire in search of an abandoned abbey that was once used by Cistercian monks. Local archaeologists had not been able to find any trace of the famous abbey and a number of theories and locations have been suggested as to its whereabouts. As the hunt drags on without any major progress, some of the team come up with a controversial theory.

In The Shadow Of The Tor. The Team descend on the bleak, beautiful landscape of Bodmin Moor to face one their biggest challenges yet. The dig aims to date a possible Bronze Age village of stone houses. But alongside the village is a vast and mysterious 300-metre-long stone structure. It's likely to be much older than Bronze Age but no one knows what it might have been. Could it be the biggest burial mound in England? The diggers battle appalling weather to unearth archaeological relics that take them back 7,000 years, when Stone Age man stopped hunting and gathering and settled down to farm the land. In a makeshift lab another investigation is underway involving test tubes and microscopes. By analysing the soil and the remains of tiny bugs, the scientists begin to build up a picture of a once lush, forested expanse, while also seeking to unravel how Bodmin Moor changed from a land of milk and honey into the windswept landscape it is today. Meanwhile, out in the water-logged trenches the diggers unearth much needed evidence of some of the earliest settlements in the country. And the 300-metre-long pile of stones proves to be much more significant than any of the archaeologists had dared hope for: a monument unique in British archaeology.

Tony Robinson talks us through the renovation of, perhaps, one of the most important homes ever built: Augustus Pugin's home in Ramsgate. In the mid-19th century, Pugin reinvented a medieval style of architecture that became known as Gothic Revival. Best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament, he built the Grange in Ramsgate in the 1840s using his own money and with, as he put it, "not an untrue bolt or joint from foundation to flagpole". Amazingly, the house was about to be destroyed in 2004 when the Landmark Trust set about restoring it. Time Team follows the transformation of the property and visits other Pugin creations around the country. It promises to be an intriguing mix of Grand Designs and Restoration - what could be better?
