Time Team: Dig Two - Secrets of Wytch Farm - Dorset

May 23, 2024 6:52 PM - Season 23, Episode 2

We've chosen a spectacular location for a very special dig. It's Time Team's 30th birthday and we are celebrating in style... Time Team heads to Wytch Farm, in the shadow of Corfe Castle, Dorset, where Derek and Lawrence discovered two Iron Age burials back in 2021. They've called in the full team to investigate. Was this a cemetery, and how long have people been living here? Where were they living, and, above all, what were their livelihoods? Will we uncover the secrets of Wytch Farm? We have just three days to find out!

Day 1: 37:57
Day 2: 37:44
Day 3: 40:50

This dig is led by Dr. Derek Pittman where those two burials were found on his family farm!

We've got rain, Stewart walking the landscape, confused finds in the grounds over a wide span of history and as they say "the beginning, not the end"

Awww the rain and dirt-blotches felt so old-school. Loved it!

It really did. I had the same confused feeling I used to have when Mick or Phil would point at the ground and tell Tony that you could see this cut mark here that mean XYZ - all I could see on the screen was brown and a slightly different shade of brown. :)
