I am unashamed in admitting that I have adored Time Team since around 2000 and I was watching this on sick days with my Granny. Absolutely love Tony Robinson and the boys. Never change.

In my next life I want to be a historian, geologist, anthropologist, and archaeologist, with biology thrown in on the side. When Stewart found the main entrance I got so excited. And then to find out the place is a "Pleasance". The piece also presents introversion at its finest, people dedicated to nuance. Oh, this big lump isn't a rock its a wall. It takes dedication to learn a place so well, it's a huge puzzle. And then tie it in with arts of those times, and literature. So comes into focus the reason why it exists, and pure glee all around. True romantics, the lot. Earth detectives. Oh, my heart.

I've seen THIS castle in the early 1990's. It's on private land and I can TELL you it's HUGE

Tony is a natural on the screen and keeps me entertained no matter his role.

Tony Robinson’s voice should be EVERYWHERE.

From what I have observed from the artifacts, the Castle of Tregruk may have been a training facility for the military of the time. The immense yard within the Castle could have been used to train potential soldiers in the art of Archery, fighting while on horseback and swordsmanship. If you wanted to keep spies out of your training facility, you would keep it inside the grounds of an enormous Castle. Anyone going in or out would have been monitored by the gate guards.

this castle has had its stones etc pillaged or re-used. Also, it could have had wooden structures within, as it is situated more like a hill fort that's an enclosure. Not so much as what we think is a castle. but its big enough to do a lot in, such as in a siege, you could grow a food garden and store a lot of animal fodder, etc. You could have wooden barracks for soldiers and a lot of horse stables..Protected from the hostile locals.

Obviously if you are inside of the castle walls, you can make the interior buildings out of wood. The wood would obviously not last in the same manner and would have been used for fire wood at some point or cleared out altogether. All those trees provide enough shade and ample room to tie up the horses without needing to build a stable and allows for rapid mounting in the vent of attack since the horses would have been spread out amply to allow easy access for all the knights. I would completely expect to find many peasants/citizens living inside the castle in wooden huts, etc. The large space is also a good place to allow the peasants/citizens to come gather inside in the event of hostile forces showing up on the scene. It could also be used for a training grounds, since you mentioned that the main purposes of the castles in this area was for security and establishing peace. So call it a multi-use courtyard of sorts. This may have been only the first phase of a larger vision and plan as well. In that case they would certainly have built the exterior walls and main lodging as soon as possible since you are then secured and able to focus on the remaining interior. The other obvious need that is unaccounted for is food. If they ever had to remain in lock down for any length of time they would need food. Those trees may well be fruit trees and the courtyard would certainly have had gardens to grow food as well. The last thing missing is water storage for the same reason.

Good grief...dig your trenches along the wall.

So, if you want to find evidence of an old building, trench parallel to the walls until you find a buried foundation extending out from the castle wall. The guy at 34:15 finally gets it.

Ages ago I was on a balcony of a youth hostel in Salonika, Greece chatting with a girl. There was a conspicuous ruined castle on a hill above the city. She agreed to join me while we got on my motorcycle and went up to the huge fort. As we picked out way over broken ground, since much changed, a man got in front of us, grabbed the handlebars and invited us for a cup of tea. Presently we were in his home chatting. He asked what we were doing there, and I said we were wondering when the castle was built. "What castle?" "The one we're in right now." "This is my house." "That wall and that wall are you house. This wall," patting the wall I had leaned my chair against, is a castle." He was clearly quite baffled, so I took him outside where we could see pieces of all four great curtain walls. I showed him the nearest bit of wall. The inside surface aligned perfectly with the wall in his house. "So when was it built?" "I don't know; I've never seen that castle before in my life." People were so nice long ago.

You know how , usually, there is a person in a family that is interested in genealogy and decides to look up family history, well my great aunt did that about 30 years ago and the Baynards are traced back to Ralph Baynard. Ralph was very close to William , the Norman Conqueror who became King of England. Ralph fought along side William and was in his inner circle. He did not return to France, but was given a large amount of land. I think he was given the title of Barron. There were Knights who lived on his land who were in service to him. Anyway, the Baynard castle is mentioned in one of Shakespeare's plays. Also, Henry the Vlll first wife was exiled after he divorced her, and it is said that she spent her remaining years living in the Baynard castle. It was a grandson or great grandson of Ralph's that was a gambler and in a bet or something , lost the title to the Baynard castle. I don't fully remember the whole story, but the whole scenario is very interesting. There is a lady on KZread who goes mudlarking along the river and in one of her episodes , she was near the sight of the Baynard castle. She found some neat stuff. I would love to see a full on archeological dig where the Baynard castle once stood. I had the opportunity to travel to London about 10 years ago and my husband , children and I walked all around, trying to follow the signs to show us where exactly the Baynard castle stood, and we couldn't find it. Everyone we asked had no idea. It burned in 1666 and was not rebuilt. It seems as though the memories have also been lost to time. There is only one old drawing of what the castle looked like and it was magnificent.

No worries. They grow back like weeds. There's more forest in the world today than there was 100 years ago.

Wow marvelous all of them are outstanding... Love from India

I love it. I'd like to know more about Raglan. Far as I can tell, the initial, rather military castle was built to deal with Raglan.

Love the archeology and geneology of this segment. My 24th Great-Grandmother was Joan Acre Plantagenet and thru her daughter Elizabeth DeClare (my 23rd Great-Grandmother) thru her son John DeLaRoche (my 22 Great-Grandfather)

Wow amazing. Thanks

great channel. thanks. very entertaining

Consider that the open field could have been for siege abatement. A place for crops and livestock (surrounded by crenelated walls and strategic towers), that would have outlasted the enemies coming to the gates. Sieges are difficult on supplies for both sides. Certainly there would have been other structures ie. shelter for livestock, peon homes etc...that succumbed to time, and the useful materials would have been taken for other nearby structures over the centuries. Cob and timber homes with thatched roofs would have completely decayed, and only larger structures with tile roofs would leave behind materials that would endure the centuries. Those tiles would have been reused in other structures (relatively nearby), but all other components would have decayed. P.S. The large entrances would have been difficult to defend throughout a siege.

With that mist it looks like something put of Dark Souls!

It looks a lot like that misty forest in Dark Souls 2 with the trees that make sounds and the invisible warriors...

"In this case,it's the reverse .We think the original entrance is actually up there " 👆 😉💙

The reason you won't find any foundations inside the walls, was because it would be filled with tents, housing soldiers. There may had been a few wood structures and a coral, but the bulk of the parade ground was for the soldiers.

Simply amazing

I have always wanted a castle, they are so mysterious and beautiful!

My family owns an estate house that dates to the 1550s, and although it's been modernized at least nine times since then it's a God damn nightmare to heat. when you add in the fact that Westminster Abbey, not as big as very many castles in the uk, costs 18000 lbs a day just to maintain, and today as then, only those with both massive wealth AND resources can do it.

Cool to see now! Great video now! Keep up the good work now! Be well now!

When I see something this interesting, I want the story of the people and those who lived.

You guys are so lucky to be in such a rich history. I’m a Detectorist and local history buff in PA USA. I’m constantly finding and unearthing our history. Little bit of different form but 9 times out of 10 by the time I’m done detecting a colonial site I can give the owner a story of what I thought happened there. The story most of the time is more exciting than the finds! Which almost always produce colonial gold and silver! Good story !

I've found an old homestead in eastern NC that dates back to the mid 1600s and was in use to the mid 1800s. I've dug up tons of China, pottery, crockery, broken bottles, intact bottles, bits of pipe, bits of metal tools, and entire plow minus the wood, and various other bits and peices.

always enjoy these castle digs. a surprising number - look up the people involved - in this case - joan of acre - and - 20th great-grandmother. Oddly, much of the rest of the family tree is welsh.

This is what I like about English history it’s goes waaaaaYy back in time . I live just south of Boston in Weymouth Massachusetts and we have some old history here with the old Indian tribes and arrow heads but they didn’t have magnificent structures like this wow

I love Welsh history!

So love Tony Robinson's adventures ! This is fascinating!
