- Down a bridleway within a dense Sussex wood, a Roman bath house stands, with walls head-high, completely forgotten for centuries.
The retired classics teacher who found it asked Time Team to try and find the other structures that must have been part of the iron-smelting works that were established here by the Romano-British navy. But things don't exactly go to plan, complicated by flying balls as diggers try to excavate on the edge of a golf course!
Rarely do we get to hear Victor speak, but that little bit with the sketch had me chuckling long after they moved on!!!
Yeah. Only multiple times in every episode. Moron.
@@Invictus13666 unecessary comment. Moron.
Loving every episodes!!!
Thnx for uploading! Ur awesome!
Why aren't they exploring the Bath House? It's there and they could find "finds" . I wanted to see that!
Dowsing works! I have done it as a means of locating pipes and cables.
Indulging in a gleeful, glorious binge of Time Team during COVID? Sure am!
You bet!
Perfect!
Me, too!
Yes !!!!
Replying to this, nine months after you did, still binging shows due to COVID...
S'loik tay-er pickin innit? 😂🤣
I love Phil, favorite character!! 😂🤣
Yeah i laughed at that as well 😂
Google won't translate.....
Am I the only one who wanted to see more of the bathhouse? Especially given how little they found. Love the show, but this one felt a bit like a bait and switch.
You can laugh at the elderly gentleman and his dowsing but he really did find the bathhouse that way. I had known him for a number of years by the time of the shoot. And no, I can't explain how he did it either. The tragedy is that after his death a couple of years later the bathhouse was back-filled and forgotten about. Yet it was and remains one of the finest Roman baths ever found in Britain and no-one has seen it since.
I believe in it, but I watch for the frauds
Shit ass luck. Dowsing has been disproven over and over.
@@zarasbazaar no, it really hasn’t.
Thank you, Mr de la Bedoyere. As always, favorite recurring expert (except for Margaret and Jackie)!
@@Invictus13666 Dowsing is fake as fuck. On the same level of astrology and other fake ass stuff.
I LOVE this series!! oops...I've said that before. Never gets old watching episodes multiple times.
I feel the same way... enjoy watching it again because after watching later episodes I appreciate nuances I didn't comprehend during the first viewing.
+EC Marks Exactly!
+E! Carroll And I just thought I was OCD with my compulsion to watch, re-watch, and re-watch. Excellent series...
Victor has such amazing talent.
Right. I can't deny it any longer. I want a bathhouse.
But why did the Romans build it so near a golf course?
+kha sab I think introducing it to them and calling it a "sport" was a practical joke played on them by the Scots in revenge for Hadrian's Wall.
Stannous Flouride Maybe, but I think the Scots were quite happy with Hadrian's wall...
+kha sab The bath house was part of the golf shop, and from the looks of the course they sold a lot of golf balls to the Caesars who were Tiger wannabes.
They probably sold Samian Snead irons and drivers there too.
But didn't they make the Christians play the Tigers?
@alanrtment porter to get their golf balls back, of course
"tater pickin" gotta love Phil
Once again my friend, I wish to thank you for all you have done in sharing with us your hard work and dedication to bringing to us as many years of TIME TEAM, sadly, we will all miss their many adventures as such.
Stone the crows.
Tater pickin.
I love Phil
Dibs on the band name "Superb Anomalies."
no dibs numbnutts.
"Zack Stewart and the Superb Anomalies". The teens will go wild!
In deep mines today, you arrive early and change in the locker room into the work clothes. At quitting time you strip off, shower, and put your street clothes back on. That there is a bath house in conjunction with slag.. makes perfect sense.
I love how they're just playing through and around the archaeology activity. "FORE on trench 3!"
Just two bros chillin' in the Roman bath house...
I loved how they managed to keep a straight face when the dowsing was brought up. I guess they didn't want to hurt his feelings.
more a case of Geo-stick than Geophys
I thought it was so sweet that Mick (who I suspect did not believe in it at all, based on an earlier episode in came up in) still mentioned that they would look in to this gentlemans tracks with the evaluation trench. Even if I don't believe in dowsing either, it's nice to see the man treated with respect.
I just feel bad that scientist- explorers are not more open-minded. Not just them, the field in general.
poor old fella, must've lost his marbles
Imagine Guy as a little chap having to say his first and last name and spell it in school over and over as we had to often. Poor little guy.
worked with an Eritrian, Heilimichael Weldigeghorghis
Discovered and searched properly by an amateur archeologist, for once.
As was the case in many, many other occasions through the series.
Dowsing? Are you kidding? Why wasn't that guy laughed straight off the show? How are you supposed to demonstrate the wonders of archeology and science when you bring along someone playing make-believe?
There is a reason why archeologists use geophysisists, and not dowsers. This is probably an act of good-will or compassion. They had a dowser in a former episode, too, and he didn't find anything, either. He claimed he couldn't concentrate properly. As we know, the Million Dollar Challenge still stands....
I think they said he discovered the baths that way. No harm in humoring him.
Green Flash I disagree. There is no profit in encouraging people to indulge in superstitious woo -- and it may have negative effects on archeology if it makes people waste time and money digging in the wrong places!
Ranillon Well the old chap got his "15 minutes" or in his case 15 seconds of fame...
Ranillon Nonsense. The old boy turned up and rather than be rude and tell him to bugger off they let him have a couple of minutes before they got on with the job. If that actually influences any other archaeologists then they need to go back to college. Also he did have some information from the person who laid out the course.
Dousing? Really?
Why does Tony run everywhere? Got to be a bloopers reel somewhere where he falls.
He's always struck me as being a high energy personality that likes to keep moving. And the director might encourage it to create "drama."
It's for a dramatic and high pace effect, keeping us on the edge of our seats.
14:53 - Me looking for my ball. (It was my best Dunlop!)
"Stone the crows!" Finish your drink or summat.
Corenza is beautiful
Dowsing. Ha
No 'over and out'. Either your done talking waiting for a response...over...or the conversation is done...out
cant believe they have to clean golf balls...
Golf courses and driving ranges sometimes sprout cottage industries around the retrieval, cleaning, and resale of found balls. It didn't surprise me one bit that someone was cleaning them.
Mick looked like some sorta freaky clown in these drawings... :))
It makes sense that a Roman bath would be on the site, even though they had no other 'solid' buildings ... the Romans must have felt that the carbon-rich worksite was getting them pretty dirty ... maybe they prefered to stay out on their boats ...
More than likely they stayed in temporary wooden structures whilst doing their iron works. Can't make a bathhouse out of wood, it'd burn. So that's likely why it's the only stone building on the site
So, ever wonder where we'd be if this culture had continued to develop? Instead, almost 1800 years until humans developed a better way for large scale iron smelting.
But, we never slowed down conquering other countries in the same way.
5:00 "looks like it could even be dangerous" zooms on a beautiful and innocuous grass snake.
Guess it's lucky Tony is presenting history programs and nothing about animals 🤣
27:10 sleepy dog looks like such a good boy.
Has anyone else noticed how softly Guy speaks? I always have to turn the volume up when he speaks. So sweet!
Thanks so much for posting
Dowsing 😆
what would Time team had done without - lumps and bumps - and - noises-?
A whole house based on taking a bath. I would never leave.
Yeah, that plunge pool is waiting for me. I'll bet it was seriously cool. Just what I need🌡️🤦♀️🥵
Love those rainbow sweaters that Mick wore….
It’s the same one! You can see it age through the years!
@@edlingja1It was not just one. He had several different jumpers. Different color schemes and stripe patterns including at least one with vertical stripes.
The Roman navy british section was responsible for industrial activities on a massive scale in the Weald of Sussex and Kent: Iron making (went on to the 19th century), tile making, stone quarrying. Roman London's walls alone were made of nearly 100,000 tons of Kentish ragstone shipped down the Medway and up the Thames to London in several thousand shipments. The Weald iron making and casting industry was important enough to be eg the main source of the cannon barrels of Queen Elizabeth's English fleet in the 16th century.
The picture of doggie contentment @ 27:08 is a welcomed sight immediately after seeing the previous caricature drawing of Mick and Tony seated in the buff on the bathhouse.bench @ 27:04..Now I don't have to scrub my brain with bleach HAHA..
Would we have to scrub our brains if we saw a drawing of you in the buff? Ha ha
+E! Carroll More likely it would require a lobotomy to rid ones self of that picture HAHA
At this point in my life, I'm comfortable with being Buddha 'size' ;-)
And your point is? LOL
Life is good!!! I think I left you a couple of messages on Google. Did you not get them? The story of my life...
Balls said the Queen, if I had two I’d be King.
Its too bad these guys were only ever given crumbs to examine. They could've done great things if given the chance.
A year later and I think I liked the setting up of oven, looking for the rocks and smelting the Iron. A good historic even. Not them digging everywhere for very little.
Oh Carenza in shorts! Oh la la! :)
I think that she is very desirable.
What if the bath house was constructed by and for the iron workers? After a hard day of charcoal making, ore digging, and smithing they wanted a a steam? A massage and bath?
Because the workers generally didn’t get treated that way. If you actually studied history. Or even closed your slack jaw and quit drooling on yourself.
@@Invictus13666 what brought that on?
@@luisdeleon4546 because ignorance is repellent.
@@Invictus13666 Oh! Well thank you for that! Tell me, oh wise one, why waste your valuable time on my feeble attempt at humor. And if my intelligence is so repellant why doesn’t it repel you? I must say your lack of personality is both repellant and repugnant. Again, thank you for your infinite wisdom and insight. Have a good day, sir.
@@luisdeleon4546 that was an attempt at humor?
It's odd that they didn't try to find the source of the bathhouse water nor connect that with other buildings.

5:05 The snake is a grass snake (Natrix natrix). It is harmless!
Do not care what kind it is. I hate snakes. Had to beat one to death with a baseball bat a couple of days ago.
I cannot get over how well-preserved that is. Usually we see them picking up wall plaster and floor tiles in dirty chunks, and here's one where you can practically see the whole place in front of you. Jaw-dropping. Landslides and volcanoes are horrible for the people who experience them, but they are solid gold for historians.
The walkie talkie really screwed up the guys shot around 34:20.
Each time I watch it, I wish Mick would say "hold on a moment, this chap's trying to make his shot"
Dousing, good grief.
Not for the first or last time. And it did find the old boy his bath house...so who’re you to scoff?
@@Invictus13666 Shit is obviously not real. Old dude just got lucky as hell is all.
skipped the rubbish dowsing part. it's bunk
There's just something about Jenni
I agree. Jenni is pretty cool and obviously a good sport. Enduring 24 hours as a nun. Cistercian, was it?
That was the general opinion...serving as team bicycle and all.
Funny that they compare the town site to an American mid-west frontier town! :)
Wow, great episode!
26:54 Victor drawing Mick and Tony naked. 😂 That’s what happens with artists.
I'd have thought it was getting older myself
I hope they got in a few rounds while they were there.
Tony with an earring, who would have “thunk”, and he swears, like a regular bloke!
He wears it a lot in these early episodes.
Who coins the term "Turkic bath"? When the Turks originated in the Great Steppe, the baths of that type were for them the slightest concern. They could find them firstly somewhere in Chorezm, Persia, but most probably in the lands of the Roman Rule, i.e. today´s Syria when they got there in the 10th cent.
I so want the picture of mick and tony. It would be framed and displayed in a place of prominence in my loo. ❤
loomps and bomps 11:12 11:17
Bless the educated amateur. But how frustrating, to go in hoping to find some kind of military installation to go along with the industrial complex, and coming up with nothing. Yes, the bath house itself is a great find, as are the smelting sites. But the yen to find a small villa or a small fortified site is unsatisfied.
Maybe they should use soils' chemistry's to augment the radar and magnetic surveys. It may explain why some objects appear to disappear when excavated.
"Beauport"... duh. "Goodport." Two hundred (200)years...
Hastings my home town
I am wondering if they went back checking with Lidar.
Dont like all these amateurs digging out important places like this. Without proper knowledge they may destroy important information for the professionals !
I love time team, even after all these years, 😊👍👍
Are those Roman Golf Balls?
I think you mean NOT easily available in Canada.
... four ! Right in the trench ...
So thankful!
*shoots golf ball into trench* hole in one. 34:17
Should have been a fence up to protect the excavators.
Whoa is that one dude phills kid? Look just like a younger version of him lol
Which dude? You have me curious
In an interview he said he didn't have kids, so no. I wondered the same, though.
Later on his name is given as Rob Barnett.
@@shari5982 It's a shame that Phil never had any children. That man's DNA should have been passed on. He could've taught them so much and kept that knowledge going on.
That magnet at 24:05 reminds me of the 'Monster Magnet' I had as a kid 45 years ago...
Whose bright idea was it that everyone has to flap their arms and chop the air with their hands? It cheapens what has been so high quality 😔
I love Time Team watch it every night but I hate to watch mick
S girl friend try to take over like it is her show do not like her
Frankly they fluffed this one, the dog knew that.
No Helen Geake, no fantasies. Archaeology not quite as compelling.
I really don't get why Time Team gets so excited about Roman when they know more about that period than both everything before the romans and the Anglo Saxon period combined. Turns out to be another villa and/or bathhouse that's just like the last one and they all have hypercorse tiles which means the space was heated. tesserae, mosaics, painted wall plaster... yada yada yada. It's boring. The most exciting thing and newly learned thing is there was a Roman Villa or bathhouse at the site but they gleaned that info from what was on the surface because of plowing. It's like finding a swimming pool in a backyard and saying it is a swimming pool and the water inside it is wet.
Then don’t watch, and shut the fuck up about it.
I do not like carenza
