I am unashamed in admitting that I have adored Time Team since around 2000 and I was watching this on sick days with my Granny. Absolutely love Tony Robinson and the boys. Never change. <3 <3
I feel like Britain's "go have a cup of tea" is everyone else's "calm the f*ck down" lol
I've seen THIS castle in the early 1990's. It's on private land and I can TELL you it's HUGE
Tony is a natural on the screen and keeps me entertained no matter his role.
for a student on prehistoric archaeology (university of Vienna) like me, this series is GOLDEN! so much I can relate to, such as methods and technical terms come up I already learned and heard about, it makes me even puzzle about a possible solution/explanation myself. glad that british people seem to have a hunger for historic knowledge, since that's the base of popular science making it into broadcasting stations.
In my next life I want to be a historian, geologist, anthropologist, and archaeologist, with biology thrown in on the side. When Stewart found the main entrance I got so excited. And then to find out the place is a "Pleasance". The piece also presents introversion at its finest, people dedicated to nuance. Oh, this big lump isn't a rock its a wall. It takes dedication to learn a place so well, it's a huge puzzle. And then tie it in with arts of those times, and literature. So comes into focus the reason why it exists, and pure glee all around. True romantics, the lot. Earth detectives. Oh, my heart.
"How many PHD's does it take to identify a piece of stone? Obviously more than 3!" LOL!
Tony Robinson’s voice should be EVERYWHERE.
Wonderful South Wales! My homeland. Proud to have such a heritage.
I see shows like this and it makes me wish I was a multi-gazaillionaire. Purchase the entire site and then hire archaeologists with as many locals who need jobs to clear and restore the site to as much practical...
I was so excited to hear about the family. As a descendent of Edward I (through Edward III), it's like getting a peak into family history. It makes the people we hear about seem so much more real than just names and dates.
Tony reminds me of Bilbo Baggins after he retired from adventures and shared his knowledge with others.
My mother and father came to US in the early 30s from South Wales. Nice to homeland from which they came.
Time Team were so amazing. We all miss it so much.
From what I have observed from the artifacts, the Castle of Tregruk may have been a training facility for the military of the time. The immense yard within the Castle could have been used to train potential soldiers in the art of Archery, fighting while on horseback and swordsmanship. If you wanted to keep spies out of your training facility, you would keep it inside the grounds of an enormous Castle. Anyone going in or out would have been monitored by the gate guards.
If your name is Scarlett Rose McGrail, you probably wouldn't have much choice other than either excavating castles like this, or wander around the countryside with a lute, singing songs about them.
I love Stewart! His hikes to find the secrets of the Earthworks are my favorite finds! 🙂
I just love it when they unearth a lot of "interesting castle-y things"!
Interesting stuff. On a side note, this is the first time I've ever seen something resembling a true forest in Wales. A shame there aren't morw of them. I imagine the ghosts of Druids past would agree 🙃
Wow, Lidar would really be a huge help on this dig! How fascinating would it be!
