Finds on the Fairway (Speke Keeill, Isle of Man) | S14E01 | Time Team

After you watch this episode, check out the official commentary video on the Time Team Official KZbin Channel! • Time Team Commentary: ...
The team battles the tail end of a hurricane to investigate the last keeill standing, preserved beneath a golf course on the Isle of Man. A thousand years ago the island was dotted with these keeills, or small stone chapels, most of which have completely disappeared. Mick, an avowed enthusiast for early Christian buildings, is in his element. Sensational finds keep coming, including perfectly preserved plaited human hair, and a specimen of Ogham script. The team are joined by local archaeologist Andy Johnson, keeill expert Nick Johnson, and Viking specialist Dawn Hadley.

Can I just record my appreciation for the late, great Victor Ambrus. His illustrations always brought the dig sites to life for me. Rest in peace Victor.

He illustrated a huge number of books over the years - and there's two paperback volumes with text by Mick. They're very nice.

Finding the plaited hair and Ogham script on a 3-day dig is amazing. I've worked with both Phil Harding and Mick Aston and can confirm they are as great guys as this episode suggests. I only wish Mick was still with us...

What a wonderful experience for you. I only just learned of Mick's passing, as I just discovered these videos in February 2021. I'm in US and wish I'd been able to watch over the span of the show. At only 66, Mick passed much too young.

[@neilrushton7169]

@@theoriginalalanna7796 Mick was a fabulous person. I got to know him two years before his untimely death and we worked together on several churches in Somerset. He taught me a lot. And I worked with Phil on two Somerset churches in 2013 and 2015. Both of them were what you see in the episodes - great guys and super knowledgable. I attended Mick's funeral in 2013 and there was much love for him. I miss him and our conversations...

It really struck me when Helen, discussing the Ogham writing, called it "the find of Matt's life." Of course, all of the older archaeologists are excited, too, but I really hope that Matt's name is included in the list of people responsible for the discovery. One of the very best episodes. Tony's opening line also cracked me up when he said, "We'll bring all our modern archaeological techniques - and Phil Harding - to bear..." Hilarious!

I spent my Sunday evenings watching it on TV with my dad, I loved it and wanted to be an archaeologist for years. I'm doing my masters in ancient history at the moment

[@justsitting1]

I’m going to class myself as a very luck lad. Not only did I grow up with Time Team on the TV. I have had the opportunity when driving home from a holiday with my son in the Lake District to shout hello to Tony Robinson (while he was filming a scene for Time Team) I do recall someone shouting expletives back at me but I was so happy I couldn’t help it. I have holidayed many times on the wonderful Isle of Man for the Tourist Trophy. And I have even been lucky enough to have lived there for a few years. To top it off and by no means least because I have my beautiful daughter from it and considering you are from the USA. I also lived in Omaha Nebraska for a few years and visit Iowa often...until or strange times being unable to travel lately. Along with this I have lived or traveled in many other places / around the world. Lots of exploring in all of these places have opened my eyes to the history of or somewhat changing but beautiful world and our ancestors. Hello from Northumberland

[@n3glv]

Likewise I am in the northeast usa and in my late 50s and never had much interest in archaeology but this series has me transfixed. The one site I hope to visit soon near me is the Meadowcroft Rock Shelter which may re-define the dates of the first humans in north america.

[@ednamathews669]

My husband Steve and I were avid watchers of Time Team. So glad I accidentally found your online episodes. Quite a few years ago I was driving to a country town to do some judging at their annual show. On the way I saw a gaggle of folk all on their knees digging with garden trowels. No time stop as working to a schedule. They were still there on the way back, so I stopped to investigate. They were looking for the site of a very early hotel/pub in the district. I asked if I could come back the next day and take my husband after telling them of our love of Time Team. Answer, yes with much enthusiasm. Next day got husband ready with no explaination but much grumbling. Drove there telling him once almost there to close his eyes and not to open them till I stopped the car. Well you should have seen the look on his face. It was all I could do to stop him jumping into a trench. Tuned out to be an archeological class from our State University. What a day we had. Nothing has ever topped it.

[@GrayHateborn]

Some years ago I was trained by a colleague of Phil's at Wessex archaeology - and he told us two little stories about Phil that make me love him all the more. The first is - if asked how to knap flint (at which he was an acknowledged expert) he would answer: (you need to imagine the accent for these) "If I told you, then you'd know". Which meant "No, I am keeping this skill for myself". And - if a wide eyed young digger approached him with a find and asked what he thought it was he would invariably answer "If you don't know what it is ... put it back!" Apparently this was so frequent it was practically his catchphrase at work.

[@graceygrumble]

This makes him sound like a selfish, arrogant git. I hope it's not true.

[@BC-ui9yt]

I don't need to "imagine" the accent. I absolutely read the words in his voice. And great stories. That's the wisdom of a master. Thanks.

[@LoneKharnivore]

​@@graceygrumble It sounds like rubbish. He used to lecture on knapping and do demonstrations - he came to my uni. If he said it I think it actually meant "you can't just be told, you need to gain the experience for yourself."

She let us know a long time ago that she found her peace there and will never return to the mainland. It must be her Viking blood.

The white quartz pebbles in the graves are very interesting. I've read that they are found in many graves around the island, from the Bronze Age up to the 17th century. I can only assume that it's because the coast line, especially in the southern part, is covered in white quartz pebbles and people have always loved their pure white colour and smooth shapes. I love this tiny piece of information because as a kid I collected so many of these pebbles on the island, apparently continuing a very old tradition and fascination with the white pebbles.
