In 14 years and over 200 programmes, this was a Time Team record: they found nothing. Was this a waste of time?

Metal detectorists had many finds from a field. The local archaeologist had dug an exploratory trench which suggested, to him, that there was a Roman fort there.

Time Team dug vast trenches and found that rather than archaeology, the strata were geological. The layer of stones which had been interpreted as the foundation was probably the result of the Ice Age sheet retreating and dumping the stones.

By the end of three days, the conclusion was that these fields were an eloquent demonstration of pastoral life over thousands of years. The many artefacts illustrated the people who worked the fields and their lives.
