Parts of my father's family have lived in the USA since the mid-1600's, but their roots trace back to Hamsterley, County Durham. How fun it has been to get a glimpse of where his people come from.

I think I might know what this is all about. I'm From The Netherlands and i recognise this as an early example of things we have and have found in the Netherlands during the revolt agains the Spanish oppression. We call it a "Schans"(gutteral pronounciation). It was used as a refuge for people who were out in the fields or traveling, on the roads ,and things like that. Knowing there were 'troubles' in the area but did not have the time to get at a real fortification. So they'd flee to a schans. And as of the looks of this one you found it must be old. And that would be the best explaination for the reasons you did not find any datable evindence because the people were on the run/move. And they would not have many possions on them. And if they would, It would be the things they needed beeing on the move. Like sheepherders. Thats why the wall is that thick. The rule of thumb was, that you wouldn't attack the schans and would only approach it when in need. The people sheltered-up there would trade something of food and things like that, to satisfy the 'passer-by'. And sometimes this schans woulde be attacked if the refugees could not give something. Thats why its considdreble thick walls but not that high. And thats why its easy acces because its for the herders and people that had not enough time to reach a settlement or fortifications. There is much more about the uses we had them for but in the UK it must have gotten out of fashion quick. because in The Netherlands they became pretty elaborate. And were build like a miniature star-fortifications sometimes. Just a thought.....? Excuse my bad English...--------------------------------------------------------------- Update: A Google link in Dutch but with pictures for example: Boerenschans (Farmers fortifiacation). Schans came from the old Dutch: Verschansen.

Khe Sanh would be a classic example.

Nice idea except its about 2000 years older than the war of the Spanish succession. As far as I am aware the English had nothing to do with that war (I think we were back on the French or the Irish or the Scots at the time). Also I don't think it looks anything like the ones in the link you provided. I think it was like they said near the end that is basically a farmstead. Life was pretty harsh in the iron age and sometimes you'd go and batter your neighbour because they look like they had better farmland than you. It's a brilliant site I love pre medieval digs. I am personally not a fan of roman digs though.

To me I have a hard time to think if this was a farmstead, the amount of stones to make an enclosure would have taken years and years for it to finished ! I can’t even envision the small number of individuals even doing this let alone the Time Team having to dig and scrape to expose what might be there! Amazing!

@Debbie-henri

5 ай бұрын

Likely the enclosure would have originally been wooden, sections replaced by stone over time. A long time. I believe Mick when he suggested there probably wasn't any more than an extended family living within those walls, and I doubt that lots of people would come from the land around to build such substantial stone walls for one family. What would be their incentive? Life was tough enough without volunteering your services to help your neighbours, and objects of value would be in short supply, so I doubt there would be any good method of payment for hiring so many workers. So, it has to be the work of that one extended family. And if it would take 1 man 100 years to build it, it's still going to take 10 years for 10 men to build it. I think that would be really stretching the limit of supportable people within that complex - because that's not including all the women who also live there and were already busy enough with children, cooking, making clothes, gathering plants, etc to be fussing about with walls. So it would have had to have been a very long term project to build that wall by a few men in that family, and if it was so necessary (obviously to deter predatory animals as well as any venturesome humans) they must have had some temporary barricade in place first. A wooden wall is the most likely answer.

Years ago I visited relatives in Sweden and saw my grandmother's childhood home. Around it on at least two sides is a stone wall that's 2 meters in some places, , and 1-2 meters wide. I was told that all the stones were taken out of the ground to allow farming. I don't know how old the wall is, but my grandmother was born in 1886. It looked like a huge effort, but one that a small team of men could have done over a short period of time. This wall isn't THAT much bigger.

@@anonymous-rj6ok Possibly it was partly against the weather. My grandad shifted snow up near Hamsterley (using a horse-drawn plough!) and there could be snow drifts of 10 feet high in bad winters. The wind blows mostly from the west and brings hard weather down from the hills, while an east wind can be 'nithering' as we say, i.e. really bitter. Possibly it was a combination of defence from raiders and from the elements.

The building materials of older sites like this often get pilfered through the ages to build newer structures elsewhere without having to cut new stones from raw materials. That massive amount of stone would take scores of people cutting rock and hauling them to the structure over a considerable length of time. Locating the quarry would likely yield broken pieces of stone cutting tools that could be used to date the finished stones. But also, permanent inhabitation over a long length of time would naturally generate dead bodies. Would they not be buried nearby? Their burials could yield trinkets which could also date the site. 3 days is just not enough time.

He was famous for excavations at Birdoswald fort on Hadrian's Wall where they identified a Post Roman hall built into the fort which changed the understanding of how Roman structures and symbols of power were adopted by the new elites after the formal military pulled out. I think he's still working.

I love these people

This enclosure reminds me about a base for a wooden castle. In Finland there are remains for over 100 castle hills - up on at least some of which there has been a wooden castle. And some of such seem to have had a stone base on which it would have been built. Those were used in late iron age - well same time than Vikings were about. But it would have been built on a very hard to climb a hill with an entrance on the easiest side. And usually it would have been located near a river - and there would have been warning fires on top of other hills down the river. As it was clearly different looking the viking boat when they were out pillaging and plundering - and when they were out to trade - given that they used different boat types for one and other. So it was pretty much possible to see if they were going to attack or want to trade and thus with warning fires - it was possible to tell people to send out alarm when an attack was pending for people and cattle to get to the wooden castle. Well it was generally against Vikings or Novgorodians. But yea - the wood on top of those a bit less 'squared' stone base-structures have by now obviously vanished and not all hills needed full enclosures being impossible to climb on some sides - and this thing makes me think of such a base for perhaps wooden walls that could have stood on top. All though I think it is particularly Finnish way of making castles prior to the medieval fully stone castles. As they aren't made on hand built hills and not really shaped like those Norman versions that where anyhow later, and temporary before stone structures.

I remember doing a survey on Studland Beach near Poole using the old fashioned method of front and back sighting.

Brilliant

Our cookies have turned hard as rocks- flint rocks.

Reminds me of the Braemor episode with Alice Roberts and Kate

Thanks.

Like Phil, saw al Time teams this last view weeks

I need some footing put in for an extension. I know, Time team!

I purchased the Time Team book. I’ve watched these episodes a few dozen times… am I an expert?

Love this,, Bet there is a lot more to discover, but is it worth all that money, In long run yes. but now to justify it, kinda hard.. one day it will be done. Cheers

Interesting site, one thing not mentioned is where did the stones come from? were they quarried locally or brought in.

1:18 As an American, I've watched so many of these and gotten so used to the various British accents that it was actually weird hearing the American-sounding finds liaison officer. 😂

As a geologist when I saw Emma take a bite ‘o core, I knew she was estimating whether it was silty or clay-rich. I chuckled when Tony gently asked her what she was doing

Revamping it again I read, in 2023-24 with "Sir" Tony as host. Mick sadly died in 2006. Phil recently got married. I am hooked on this show I am learning so much.

It is indeed back! Episodes/videos on Patreon, but episodes are to be uploaded to KZread thankfully after a spell of time. Don't know if Tony is back but I know Phil isn't as of yet - you can see hin on either the Wessex or Sussex uni archaeology's channels on KZread IIRC. So he's still to be found out playing with flint :) Plenty of the old gang still on the new series you'll be happy to hear!

Stewart will work his magic
