Digging for Britain

Archaeological digs in the west of Britain

Alice Roberts and Matt Williams visit the Dorset Country Museum, where they explore finds from archaeological digs across the west of Britain. The presenters examine objects found at a Bronze Age burial site in Barrowclump, a Roman army site called Durotriges and the site of an early hospital at Winchester, Hampshire. Plus, a hoard found by metal detectors revealing hidden secrets of childhood 1,000 years ago, and a Roman settlement at Ipplepen in Devon
