Medieval Archaeologists Find 3 Lost Medieval Castles | Time Team
Published 2024-03-27
The team investigate King Edward III's Queenborough Castle at the mouth of the Thames, the last medieval royal palace. They explore whether the castle's purpose was defence, or to protect the royals from the plague.
48:08 Dungannon Castle
The team visits Northern Ireland to locate one of the most important sites in Anglo-Irish history - a hilltop castle above the city of Dungannon, home of the powerful O'Neill dynasty, whose story culminates in the hugely significant flight of the Earls. The team is joined by Colm Donnelly, Hiram Morgan, Paul Logue, and Jim O'Neill.
01:35:00 Empress Matilda's Fortress
Is this the English Empress Matilda’s castle from The Anarchy? A peaceful waterside field beside the oldest bridge over the higher reaches of the River Thames in Oxfordshire poses the perfect setting for an assault. Time Team set out to uncover what looks like the remains of a large medieval castle buried under the grass. Could this be all that remains of a long-lost fortress built during one of the bloodiest episodes of English history?

Omg ! The two nutters and Phil are just the BEST!!!

“Engage brain Phil.” I love Phil, he’s always so excited about his finds, which I hope is natural and not scripted. If not scripted, I love that he’s still so excited about his work after all his years!!

I know the Dark Ages isn't a very popular term these days with academics, but man, it sure is evocative.

Edward III was the winner of the Battle of Crecy. It stands to reason that some of his works would be influential to future kings.

I enjoy watching these videos, but I don't understand the purpose. Why do they only work for three days? And what happens when their time is up?
