Given that the stated principles of the purpose of the TV was to educate and entertain I would say that Time Team was one of the few to do both and all better than most other shows. Today you would struggle to create a team of such diverse and wonderful characters as these were.

These shows are just amazing...good to know they're all going to be seen again! The whole Time Team series is just an iconic example of how to popularize a scientific discipline in an entertaining and educational manner. This fort site is such a pristine example, I hope it attracts full-scale excavation in the future.

Wow a Roman Fort near a later castle! I guess key terrain never changes.

I'm glad to see Tony,Phil and the rest of the original crew which makes the videos interesting

Victor is truly an artistic genius.

I'm watching Time Team all over again. They never get old. Wish I could work with many of the folks: such great end entertainment and information! Many thanks.

Love each of these programs. Used to want to be an archeologist, but see now that I didn't have the physical stamina to shovel day after day.

Not having a single artistic atom in my body I am in awe of blessed people like Victor, metal workers, stone masons.

the geophys of the fort is phenomenal

What I am amazed by, is seeing the drawings and stuff they create on this show. They are just like the game Assassins' Creed Origins. The Egyptian countryside is beautifully rendered in the game, and many of the buildings look just like this one...

I live in the desert and I teared up a little watching all that beautiful green grass being dug up- LOL! I LOVE TT for many reasons; the beautiful UK Countryside being just one!

In the UK climate, it will grow back to pristine green turf well under a year, once backfilled in.

Even though it was never attacked, the fort could still serve a very useful function: soldiers could rest there in safety. If there was no impregnable structure, they would have been under constant attack.

Still loving all these episodes after all these years❤

Go Stewart! I enjoy his expertise so. (However, on another topic) ▪ I wonder, did they not get "the sound story backwards". The Pics and Scotts were the innovators of using Sound to create fear in their advisaries. (Sidebar: We Westerners place the Roman far above where they truly and actually were, as people and as innovators. They took from others and got the credit for its origination, like Aquaducts, Concrete, and Roads, the Etruscans inventions, and the Roads were earlier than the Egyptians.) The Painting of their faces and bodies + the use of horns and reeds to elicit fear as they entered the field of warfare, and prior to Roman occupation in England. Note the use of face painting also existed in the Pics and Scotts, likely Irish, and the Phonecians, later found that the Native Americans, Africans, and indigenous Australians were also using these Practices. There continues to be subjects that make global connections in far Ancient History. We are another chapter, others existed prior to "Modern Humans". Let all the data draw the picture of History.

I love these shows. Thank you 😊

That this buried Roman fort is under a Scotch Manor home is not surprising. When the Romans retreated and the Scotch re-occupied their country, the Lords would have cited their power houses in the same area as the Roman did. There must be buried roman forts under every Scotch Manor house that was located in Roman Occupied Scotland. Happy digging.

It's on the site of an earlier castle, so they just kept the name, as other places do that are nothing like castles, such as Wardour castle and Castle Howard, which is on the site of Henderskelf castle.

See Ranger Richard Riley much later on Salvage Hunters (Full Episode) Season 1, Episode 1, still at the Drumlanrig estate.

Regarding the chinese whistle @25:18 why make the handle so long? I cannot se it as feisible, to be able to spin it like similar to auberiginal digeridoo, perhaps with a flag of somekind at the back to angle to device with air intake, or simply by sesign to spin and make a sound. just saying, but i get it there is no basis for my reasoning just as there is limited reasoning for how used in this video. That "questioning" aside, amazing videos, i love them. I have watched lots of them from all sources i can find. They are great. From what i can gather it is pretty well spread over the world to have a device like this. Which in itself raise questions.

At first they were just on the stick do they could swing them around fast enough to get enough air flow to sound. The Draco, the item they were wanting to use them on was a standard..... by definition, a standard is tall so that it can be easily seen, hence the long pole.

The annex would probably be used for livestock pen..

"intact Roman fort"... always thought they were taller.

I am sorry you must get this allot. But can you take the new script that you found on the Isle of Mann and lay it side by side. If I remember the script talked about a corner then a group of residents then a group of warriors, can that script be date to the same period of this base that you are looking at? If you how the script is written and the lay out of the corner, kind looks like it maybe old invasion plans?
