Time Team

- Season 15

(2007)

The Time Team visit the Isle Of Man to excavate the last remaining keeill, or small Christian Chapel on the island. What they uncover is a cemetery that had been in use for over 1500 years. Among their finds are some items so rare they may redefined the history of the island and be completely unique in the careers of the archaeologists involved in the project.

The Time Team investigate a Roman Villa found at Blacklands Somerset. Conventional history tells that the Britons fought against the Romans and refused to allow many of their cultural standards to be Romanized. Rather than finding a culture in conflict they discover some things about the villa that may eventually rewrite the history of early Britain

Hooke Court in Dorset now a school is visited by the Time Team. Their main concern is to unravel the hectic construction that seems to have occurred on the site. Although they are interested in features dating from the English Civil War. With more than 5 reconstructions of the buildings and at least one devastating fire; making out the history of the site becomes problematic

In early 2006 an aerial photographic survey of Anglesey produced a remarkable image. On the slopes south of the town of Amlwch approximately four miles from the island's north coast - a large pentangular earthwork could be seen.

The team investigate the history of the Shorncliffe Redoubt, piecing together how its design and use as a training ground for light infantry troops helped to develop the modern army and defend the coast against invasion by 'the old enemy'.

In 2006, Richard Landy discovered an almost complete ceramic Roman cheese press. What made it all the more special is where he found it - washing out of the side of a two-metre-deep ditch in Stilton, Cambridgeshire.

Wicken, in Northamptonshire, appears to be a typical English village, with a church and manor house. But back in the medieval era there were two churches and two manor houses here, making up two separate villages. Wick Hamon and Wick Dive.

Moss Brow Farm in Warburton, Cheshire, had been the focus of intense study for a decade. In that time, the site had produced a rare snake's head bracelet, a silver denarius and a collection of Roman metalwork. TT want to find more.

The last working mill in the village closed down in 1946, however, and in 1968 the building was ordered to be demolished by the local council because the wheel pit was regarded as a danger to children.

The owner of a Chesham Bois House, is a keen gardener. She's turned up 17th-century and medieval tiles beneath the greenhouse, uncovered medieval pottery in the flowerbeds, and noticed strange lumps and bumps at the bottom of the garden.

The site is positioned close to a Roman road connecting London to the south coast and has never been excavated. Local archaeologists have wondered what lies beneath the surface for many years, and called in Time Team to help them find out.

The site has already been excavated by the local group. But no abbey has been found. The abbey only existed for 60 years. And was it made of stone or wood? Walls are found. But are they chapel or abbey?

Bodmin Moor was temperate in the Bronze Age. People would have been hunter gathers. Evidence of their round houses and a 500 meter long stone structure is investigated. But who built it?
