S08E03 The Celtic Spring - Llygadwy, Powys
Episode Overview
In the heart of Wales, an incredible location features a Megalith, a Neolithic burial site, a Norman lookout tower, early Christian artifacts, and a natural spring. The landowner has unearthed a remarkable collection of coins, sculptures, and jewelry from this spring, creating a scene reminiscent of an ancient amusement park. Thus begins one of Time Team's most extraordinary excavations. Geophysical surveys reveal no structures at the site, and the megalith appears too shallow to have stood for millennia. When a sword is discovered, the team grows wary. They enlist the expertise of Celtic ritual specialist Miranda Green, architectural historian Will Hughes, and Iron Age expert Ian Stead. Ultimately, they uncover that the site has been artificially enriched, with items deposited between the 19th century and the 1980s. More details can be found at Llygadwy.
