Agreed, which makes it a grand shame that Stuart (along with Helen Geake and even Victor Ambrus) were sidelined in later seasons when the shows format began to change, primarily due to a fall in viewership numbers/ratings. The format change is why Mick left given that he was rather angry about it, well one of the reasons at least.

I've been on 2 digs. I LOVE how they edit this series. An ACTUAL dig is 98% boredom, sweat, mud, rain and non-sense. The other 2% is extreme exhilaration. Time Team edits out the 98%!

Co. Down was my home until I went to university. While it was sad to have had so little of our own history taught in schools in the 70's, it is brilliant to be able to watch Time Team unravel some really interesting bits of our past!

I love the enthusiasm for archaeology and history. So positively uplifting.

Amazing. I'm just watching this now; I love archeology, as well as genealogy. I'm one fourth Irish, on my mother's side, so of course I'm fascinated by all things Irish. We would obviously have been the peasants, pretty sure I'm not related to any nobility or royalty. (My Irish roots, from what I've been able to learn, were from Galway and Cork. It's really cool that Coursey still has descendants!

I think the needle Phil found is made from Horn rather than Bone. The outer part of Horns are tightly bundled Proteins. Bones dry up and gets brittle, but horns are amazingly flexible and lasts much longer. The use of Horns as Tools, Cups, Instruments and for Decoration stretches back almost as long as Humanity itself. The uses of Horn (or Hoof, which is also made from Proteins rather than Mineral Rich Bones) are many and varied: Buttons (still in use), Musical Instruments, Shoe horns, drinking horns, (Gun) Powder Horns, Knife, Axe & Sword Grips, for making boxes, snuff boxes, combs, framing for glasses (spectacles), hairpins, rings, brooches, walking sticks, shafts and cane handles. Some horns being semi-transparent were sometimes cut into thin sheets, fitted together to use as windows. Although you couldn't really see through them, they would let daylight in, while keeping the cold wind out. Many of the dices found on Time Team, if not all, are made of horn. Being a Real Live Viking myself, it annoys me no end seeing Vikings represented with Horns on their Helmets, purely because a popular cartoon strip illustrated the Viking characters with horned Helmets. Horns were used on Helmets in several Cultures. In Europe, the Celtic Tribes from France in the East to Ireland in the West sometimes used Horned Helmets, but it is believed that these were Ceremonial Head Gear, seeing as having such big and heavy decorations aren't very practical in a Combat Setting. In Asia, Chopsticks are very often made out of Horn. Horns have sometimes even been used as hammers and knives. Horns are also sometimes used as Medicine. Horns have, especially in Ancient Chinese Medicine, but also in other Medical Schools, been used as Medicine. Horns and Hoofs were the go-to plastic (malleable) Material before all the various Plastics became available. Horns are still in use today, mostly as Decorative Elements, such as inlay in crafted Wood. But with the ease and myriads of types of Plastic, with varying Physical and Chemical Properties, Horn and Hoof products have had to give way for the more Convenient Modern Equivalent: Plastic.

Beautiful landscape and beautiful archaeological reportage. Adds to the urge to visit Ireland. Anything that sustains, enhances, and/or advances the truth brings people. And of course the Irish are renowned for the philosophical and poetic way in which they bring comely truths to life.

Is it just me? I bet not! Tony Robinson makes the Timeline - World History Documentaries very exciting... full of exuberance!😄

Makes sense if you think about it. Top of a hill with little surrounding vegetation, it's likely to lose soil rather than gain it over time. Especially since bedrock is not far below and structure was built directly on top of that.

Think of this: Irish knew they were out resourced and manned. Yet they stuck fear in the hearts of their enemies because of the lack of concern of their personal safety. Technology doesn't alway win. Its the will to fight and die that changes the battle.

That Norman re-enactor is over-confident, an axe is a great weapon against chain-mail and several layers of (padded) wool work wonders against slashing sword attacks like those from an arming sword. The small shield also makes the warrior a lot lighter and more nimble, meaning that if there is room to move, like in small scale skirmishes, and in rough terrain, the lighter warrior has a distinct advantage...

The idea that a Saxon armed like that is completely powerless against a Norman Knight on foot is just wrong. The fact that the Norman was a trained soldier from birth and the Saxon was a peasant had a lot to do with it and the Normans had a lot of other advantages which are completely left out of this simplified "re-enactment".

I notice that the site is loaded with Centranthus ruber (Red Valerian, aka Jupiter's Beard) , a native of N Africa & S. Europe. When does that date from? Would it have been in the Norman , or medieval gardens, or is that more recent?

Ehhh pay attention at the begging of the video... they have no clue who tf built it or why they state that openly at the beginning... but then they do their usual thing and start throwing out a name with absolutely ZERO proof or evidence that the person they are naming actually had anything to do with it.... they tend to do this A LOT for entertainment purposes which kinda kills the legitimacy of it historically... I have came to the conclusion that this show is more about entertainment than it is about actual historical accuracy... also the host is obsessed with “firsts” and “new”.

@@richardgrace4500 No proof that the person they are naming had anything to do with it?? In all the episodes of Time Team I have watched, they have a researcher out hunting down documents in archives for evidence to back up what the archeologists and local historians believe to be true. Often what is found in historic documents backs up just what is surmised at the beginning.

Old enough to remember when Dan Snow was presenting similar documentary series with his father as teenager and young man.

Does your team have any experience with Viking settlements? There's a site in New England (US) which is ....claimed... to be a pre-colonial Viking settlement by the proprietors. I've visited it, and the site had been repurposed by so many subsequent occupants that I had trouble being convinced there was anything original left of the site to make any claims either way. Maybe digging into that might be a nice option for a show, but it wouldn't be an easy one.

This is another great episode with Time Team's educational entertainment. I remembered, when they became so driven, and ripped open the ground with broad gestures, that from the start, it was mentioned that only a certain amount of meters could be excavated. Hopefully, they've done it on spots where earlier trenches or structures were exposed. The Brits are priceless in their inconsistency, if that's what it is, or they're bending the rules a little bit so that the work is declared to be in good order, hahaha. I've lived for almost 5 years in rural Britain, and came to the conclusion that, in general, folks, and the government, in a cartoonish fashion, are unpredictable, for better or for worse.

It seems sad, but staying buried preserves those structures. So many artifacts succumb to the environment when kept on display. Take the Egyptian obelisk in NY for example; it had survived thousands of years retaining it's sharp edged inscriptions but since it was exported to NY in 1881 it's suffering great erosion. The Time Team themselves often dig sites that were previously examined and as stated in this episode they start by opening those old digs. Those old digs survive pristinely because they were also filled back in. I would also guess that not doing so around the heavy walls of a castle like this one would weaken the above ground structures as the original re-terraforming to build it would have been to give a strong base for it's construction.
