The team descend upon the island of Mull at the invitation of two local amateur archaeologists. Eager for the team to investigate a mysterious set of earthworks they've stumbled upon in a forest near the fabled town of Tobermory, they believe they may have discovered one of the earliest chapels in Scotland.

Phil’s expression at Tony’s pun during the intro ... 🤣🤣🤣

[pingpong]

It always makes me please when a Mick Aston theory is proven, finding an unknown early monastery is a great reward for all his hard work. Those two ladies making it all possible, good for them.

[RPGBros]

Mick Aston will be forever missed, taken too young

[janmitchell]

That was brilliant! I love that they began it with their two citizen archeologists and they ended it with them. It looked like Tony was about to tear up at the end. This is a fabulous series!❤️🇨🇦

[RobBoudreau]

This episode has always stood out for me, Mick was so in his element. This and the one at Mt. Murray on the Isle of Man, I don't doubt Mick would have spent years at either if he could.

I was waiting for the disheartening "Oh no, we were dead wrong! It isn't an medieval chapel after all!" almost to the end of the episode. It was almost too good to be true, but in the end everything fitted together. Really a superb dig!

[algiefeatherstonehaugh]

This was one of my three favourite Time Teams.

[MuscarV]

That shot of Phil looking bewildered and exhausted had me in stitches. Me too Phil, me too.

[jean]

I just love this episode! Discovering a long-forgotten chapel and monastic settlement - Time Team at its best!

[gregh]

One of my favourite episodes: Super-interesting and educational site, genuinely interested and cooperative local people, and of course everyone seemed to be having a great time. (Evern Tony didn't seem to feel like he had to be a contrarian, but presented with good-humour, curiosity and wonder.)

I wish I could hit the like button more than once

Great work Time team

[jenamyallen]

Oh my goodness I love this series!!! It has helped me keep my sanity during a personal hurricane 🌀. Thank you so much for sharing this. As an armchair archeologist, it is absolutely delightful! ❤❤

[kathycarlson]

This dig has left me speechless. On every level, it was entertaining, educational, and inspiring. That final scene gave me chills. Kudos

Fantastic! The cross was the crowning moment.

[dinerouk]

Remember seeing it years ago. Still as impressive to see it over many years later.

[puppyhaley]

This is one of my most favorite episodes!! I’ve watched it three times as of today. 👍👍👍Loving Time Team episodes!! Hurray for the new episodes coming out with some of the original Team members from years ago. ❤️

[coreysundberg]

This was by far one of my favorite episodes!! The enthusiasm that just permeated the entire crew really touched me!

[matt_cummins]

Absolutely fantastic episode! And really well done to the local "amateur" archeologists; they knew they were on to something. Great stuff, thanks very much.

This one really hits for me, my paternal ancestors are from Isle of Mull.
