Time Team

- Season 6

(1998)

Trumpeters House in Richmond, near London. Records show it was the site of a royal palace from the time of Edward III through to Elizabeth I, who died there. Destroyed during Cromwell's Commonwealth, the site has lain unexcavated.

In Iron Age times, the lowlands of Somerset were marshland. Boats couldn't cross the expansive swamps so wooden walkways stretching for hundreds of yards were built. TT find out if early 1920s reports will re-reveal peat-preserved remains.

Schoolchildren on the Orkney island of Sanday asked Time Team to investigate local mounds that could, reputedly, be of Viking origin. This is the first time the Team have looked for Norse archaeological finds.

3 days of live excavation. The weekend ended with evidence of a Romano-British villa complex that is one of the largest ever found in Britain. This programme is an edited version of that weekend.

This overseas visit is to Mallorca Spain. In pursuit of the Beaker people, an enigmatic culture thought by some to have been responsible for the introduction of metal work into Britain.

Time Team's efforts are concentrated as much above the ground as beneath as they travel to Aston Eyre, Shropshire where a farmhouse converted from a medieval gatehouse is just the starting point for three days of hard work.

One of Ireland's most sacred sites where St Patrick, patron saint of All Ireland, set up his first church. On Cathedral Hill sits a magnificent church renovated from its medieval origins in the 18th century.

Time Team goes to Teesside. It has been known for years that just yards from the current village is the site of a medieval village but why it was abandoned so suddenly, literally disappearing off the map.
