Can Time Team Uncover A Norman Castle At This Stately Home?

0:00:00 Oakham Castle Time Team investigate Oakham Castle in the tiny county of Rutland. It's Britain's best preserved 12th-century building but its grounds are full of mysterious lumps and bumps crying out to be investigated. Initial geophysical surveys were hampered by thick clay, and a surprise electrical line right where they want to build their first trench make the Time Team's job on a time limit even more difficult than usual. 0:46:58 Dundrum Castle The team are working with Colm Donnelly, Finbar McCormick and others from Queen's University, Dublin. Their brief is to investigate an impressive ruin in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is associated with John de Courcy and his renegade Norman knights. But when was it built, and what did it look like? As it's a protected monument, their dig is strictly limited. Francis takes charge. Colm thinks the site shows remains of a much earlier structure, a cashel or defended stone enclosure from the Dark Ages. He shows Tony the nearby Drumena Cashel. Matt demonstrates the inferiority of primitive Irish armour against the full might of a mail-clad Norman knight with his huge charger, sword and bow. 1:33:55 Kenfig Castle Eight hundred years ago the people of Kenfig on the south coast of Wales thought they had built the perfect town, nestled round a harbour with easy access to the sea and a sheltered position. The town appears to have been a thriving commercial success but then it vanished, leaving just a few castle walls to mark its existence. And Tony gets to go in a helicopter.
