Secrets of Wytch Farm (Dorset)

12 years on Time Team returns to the Roman Fort at Brancaster to tackle one of its biggest challenges yet: can you uncover an entire fort without digging?

Armed with cutting-edge geophysics, John Gater, Jimmy Adcock and their teams survey the land, revealing vast hidden structures beneath the surface. From magnetometry to ground-penetrating radar, billions of data points begin to map out walls, roads and buildings lost for centuries.

But as the digital picture emerges, a new question arises — how do you interpret a Roman fort you can’t yet see?

Time Team is a British television series which has been aired on British Channel 4 from 1994. Created by television producer Tim Taylor and presented by actor Tony Robinson, each episode featured a team of specialists carrying out an archaeological dig over a period of three days, with Robinson explaining the process in layman's terms. This team of specialists changed throughout the series' run, although has consistently included professional archaeologists such as Mick Aston, Carenza Lewis, Francis Pryor and Phil Harding. The sites excavated over the show's run have ranged in date from the Palaeolithic right through to the Second World War.
