KING ARTHUR'S HALL | FINDING OTTO | Time Team News | + Door guardians & Britain's oldest spade?

Dani Wootton returns with more Time Team News, a monthly look at archaeological stories and discoveries from Britain and across the globe.

This month, we catch up with James Gossip to discuss the mysterious monument, King Arthur's Hall on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. We also show how an artefact from recent memory - a rusty dog tag - can have such huge resonance with the living.

Our Book of the Month is 'A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects' by Sally Coulthard. Meanwhile, we look at what might be Britain's oldest spade, and ancient stone statues discovered in Cambodia.

(Episode 16, Wednesday 27th November 2024)
