Description

Digging for Britain episode 4: This episode reveals more of the best archaeology happening in the south of Britain. Five miles east of Bristol, hidden among ancient woods are some old ruins which could provide very rare evidence of a skirmish during the medieval civil war between two contenders for the British throne, Matilda and Stephen, in a period known as the Anarchy. This archaeological dig is led by Digging for Britain medieval expert Stuart Prior, who has been investigating if this was the site of a royal hunting lodge that was besieged during that long, chaotic 12th-century war. Alice Roberts joins Stuart to ask what happened to the lodge. Did it fall into ruin through neglect, was it demolished, or was it attacked? There is plenty of evidence uncovered that could solve the mystery.
