Is This The Largest Iron Age Discovery In Britain? | Time Team

Tony and the Time Team climb a remote Herefordshire hill to investigate one of the biggest prehistoric sites ever featured. Was Dinmore Hill the site of a vast Iron Age hill fort? As usual the dig is hampered by horrific weather, but will they be able to find the evidence they need in time?

Ive found myself watching TIME TEAM a lot now days!!!!These guys and women are very interesting to start with.....There just really good at what they do....Im hooked guys!!!!!Love TIME TEAM!!!

[@charlotteantiquepowerengin6277]

The true hero here is the excavator operator. Holy moly!!!!!!! Cleanest cuts ive ever seen. In pouring rain. Amazing!!! Def the MVP

[@adamsjerome1839]

Having operated heavy machinery watching Ian Barclay make those smooth and clean cuts make me realize how inept I was.

Time Team brings History to life through their three day digs and banter between the Archeologists and Tony Robinson.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

More fascinating than many Time Team episodes.

[@clydecox2108]

Love the show, hate the three day time limit.

[@margomoore4527]

The bulk of the archeologists, specialists, diggers, whatever, nearly all have regular academic jobs! They can only spare weekends! That’s the price you pay to be able to bring in highly qualified people!

[@clydecox2108]

@@margomoore4527 I understand that. It doesn’t stop me from wanting more. LOL

Money, this show isn't free, All the professionals all the archaeologists all the equipment about 200000 pounds per episode plus it takes 5 days to set it up.

Be interesting to compare weather / rain amounts / sunny days/ temperatures etc from these shows and locations to current conditions.

This was 2010. I wonder what has been happening at this site during the past 14 years?

[@XlrationMedia]

Desultory. Thanks for using that word Tony!

[@williamlloyd3769]

Why not get a better LiDAR scan of 5he area first to pickup more details on the site?

[@paigecunningham]

This episode is from 2010. LiDAR only really started being semi-regularly used for big-site archaeology a few years later and was very expensive. Its use wouldn't have made sense in a TV show that wasn't an entire series about a single dig.

[@puppy2haley]

If a person hasn't finished their cup of tea by ten thirty in the morning, it must be one real good big cup of tea.

My tea is poured at 6am. If I don't drink it by 6:30 I brew a new pot

[@rockzalt]

@@garethjones4742 Tea is amazing. There are hot summer days at work where a hot half cup of tea without milk quickly consumed will give a person a pleasant cool rush during break time after some back breaking work.

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

This seems consistent with my theory of bands of semi-nomadic people meeting and forming temporary cities around harvest time every year, and dispersing to forage the rest of the year. Inevitably they’d be making improvements to their meeting place which are substantial enough to remain disused for months and yet still be sturdy enough to be used again during the following year’s harvest. If the process of annual improvement continues for enough centuries, eventually you end up with something along the lines of Gobleki Tepe or Stonehenge, or this place. 🤔

[@McM-u2u]

You guys make me " SO APPY" 👍🍀😂

[@EnGammalAmazon]

So......What became of the site? Is there ongoing work or were their conclusions merely speculation of the use of the site?

He's compensated. Doesn't appear it's being used for crops. They aren't tearing up the entire site either.

Bunch of amateurs more interested in making TV than they are about doing real archaeology.

Uninformed Jack 🫏 comment. Other than Tony, they are all esteemed archeologists. Google them and see their credentials. Better than yours I'd say, Mr keyboard warriors.

[@a1aprospects470]

Like the show but this episode illustrates academia arrogant nonsense. A few inches of a single stick in the mud, because it's straight, is interpreted to mean a highly organized society managing the woodlands? When my sons were 6 years old, they always picked up straight sticks to sword fight, pretend they were guns, and would often stick them in the ground. And the experts in this video decided, with zero evidence, that the trenches meant the area was used as a gathering point for a mix of different groups to hold religious ceremonies? Based on what? Same way the archeaologists decided the age of the pyramids and that they were burial tombs despite the lack of any real evidence to support either claim. Because they have academic credentials and that's what they say.

[@clarissagafoor5222]

But they proved what they set out to prove.

[@a1aprospects470]

@@clarissagafoor5222 Yes, they proved there was a site there. But some of their biggest "conclusions" were just speculation... unsubstantiated conjecture presented as facts. An advanced degree doesn't mean your every opinion must be treated as proven fact.

You basically summed up Graham Hancock’s biggest gripe with academics in archeology.

Well if you folks were in Canada, BC got 40 degrees Celsius/104 Fahrenheit and within 2-3 points for a month. Nighttime temps have have only just dropped on the 23rd day of it.
