Is There A Bronze Age Enclosure Beneath This Welsh Manor House? | Time Team | Timeline

The team and experts head to Llancaiach Fawr manor, near Caerphilly, South Wales, to investigate an ancient moat. The team's geophysicists feel the site should provide them with the ideal conditions to determine what the ditch was originally designed to guard - but the project soon becomes one of the most baffling investigations in the programme's history.

22:26 You don't always get an opportunity to have archeologists dig on your property, you do always have time to grow more grass, I'm always glad when people don't care about tearing up the lawn for a bit to let these guys dig.

Love this show! Love love love Tony and all the crew! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You all feel like friends! Cheers!❤

I wish these were at least a week long. I can’t get enough of British archeology.

Thank you for all your comments pointing out the rather glaring mistake in our titling of this episode. In our defence, we've licensed 250 episodes of this wonderful show, so it was bound to happen sooner or later. Look out for the episode about The White Queen soon, and we hope you enjoy The Mystery of the Manor Moat!

I love Tony’s one liners, they crack me up.

That's a really insightful comment at 7:25!!!! Nice houses are always built next to older homes through out history

Tony: you are one of my heroes! Your comedy (your whole body of world, truthfully) has felt like sunshine. It’s funny ridiculous yet real. Some days I’m Edmund others I’m baldrick... yknw? Thanks for what you do! And thanks TIMELINE! You rock too!

" geophysical phlegm" lmao Tony has such a way with words it's like French poetry🤣

[sumguy]

So exciting. I love this stuff! I once had a coin from France dated 1371. A shame it was stolen.

[Akkordeondirigent]

Your documentaries are so gorgeously produced! Highly entertaining an informativ. I have had today some time on my hand, and what did I do? Watching one documentary of yours after the other. Thank you so very much!

Tony: "It could be a walk in the park for the geo phys"
Yes, sometimes things are very literal indeed :)

[minnielaroo]

21:53 is so quintessentially British it hurts. "Right what a bother, carry on."

[peachymeechie]

Thanks so much for this! Anything with Tony Robinson is always going to be an interesting adventure! Lol! Love it thank you! Also my last name is Robinson too, but I'm in Indiana U.S. I wonder if long down the line we were kin! Maybe my long lost awesome cousin!! Lol! Probably not, because there are so many of us Robinson people, but still a cool thought! Lol!

[thomasewing]

What we can absolutely say about this site is there has been a lot of dirt for a very long time. lol

Time Team is brilliant! Add Tony Robinson and GOLD has been produced!

With that old stream bed running thru the field, I wonder how they filled the moat? I wonder if they carved a ditch from the stream to the moat?

[teetarquin]

This is sooo exciting, and I’m an American!
