- FULL EPISODE | CLASSIC TIME TEAM SPECIAL
Tony Robinson visits Scotland to observe a group dive led by Nicholas Dixon onto a collapsed but well-preserved Iron Age loch dwelling. Also participating are six field school archaeologists who will learn the basics of an underwater dig. The Oakbank Crannog they work on is located in the north-east of Loch Tay in Perthshire, where more 18 submerged crannogs have now been identified. A working example was reconstructed about a mile away on the south side of the loch at the Scottish Crannog Centre.
Original UK broadcast date: 19th April 2004
NOTE: The Scottish Crannog Centre has been undergoing redevelopment, following a fire in 2021 that destroyed the original crannog reconstruction. To discover more about the Centre's plans, and to find out how to lend support, please visit: crannog.co.uk/

How does one burn down a house built on water?
Merry Christmas to all. I love Tony, and it's great to see him back with Time Team again.
Very easily. See 24:20. @@iamperplexed4695
@@iamperplexed4695it is wood and thatch, one stray flame and up it goes. Or a lighting strike, after all it is sitting up out of the flat lake.
I am greatly saddened by this news of the fire. I only just saw this Time Team special. I wish all concerned the very best. I find the dedication incredible. The effort and results I can only describe as inspired and heroic.
2004? I was 14. Almost certainly watched this one as a kid - now I can watch it again with my newborn daughter on my lap 😅
and tell her all about the characters, their surprising finds and what Matt, Phil, Tony, Carenza, and Helen are up to!
History repeats itself?
This wasn't filmed in 2014. They were still on TV then but this is new. I've watched every episode and all the specials multiple times. Been watching since it came on TV back in the day. All episodes are available on this platform btw. By the time I get to the last episode of season 20 I can start watching season 1 again lol. There's the predecessor Time Signs too, with Mick and Phil.
There's so many I wish we could get an update on. Hopefully they'll do some of that.
Yes. Rerun. Reissued under the news Time Team license.
❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
I would love to have an update about the excavation, what they have discovered since. Actually, after every special, a summary update would be so cool. (Sad to hear about the reconstruction)
OMG!!!!! AN EPISODE I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T SEEN!!!! Oh joy oh bliss😅 😊 😅
I was about to ask how you could possibly not have seen it (maybe even gently mock you)...then I realized I hadn't either. Apparently I kept skipping it bc I confused it with another episode.
I may feel like an idiot but I'm very happy.
@@petergerdes1094 not an idiot; just goofy!!!
I love hearing "...ideas can change as new discoveries are made" and being taken on that journey of discovery with Time Team helping me to understand the complicated processes of planning, excavation, analysis, interpretation & documentation, in simple language I can easily follow. 🙏
Love Tony! It's his voice that was the storyteller😢 in our living rooms for decades.
In Louisiana they conserved an entire dugout boat that was found sticking out of the river bank using wax. They kept replacing small amounts of water with wax basically, until the wax had absorbed enough to conserve it.
That's more or less what the Swedes did when they lifted the sunken Vasa from the seabed in Stockholm in the 1960's. A great project - which inspired the Mary Rose Trust too.
Beautiful video quality and Tony’s voice always makes me feel I’ve come home.
Echoing what some others have said; considering this was filmed a little over 10 years ago, and Nick estimated being done in 10 years, I'd love to have an interview with him on the channel, to see where he's at now. My parents went to visit the reconstruction a few years before the fire, and I was super jealous even at the time.
Uhhh 20 years ago 😅
There was a fire??
Thanks so much for posting
Hurrah for the Crannogs.
I loved this show as a kid in the 90s and continue to love it today
Wonderful video. Oh how I miss Tony and the band of misfits on Time Team!!!!!
I hope much more has been learned since this project! Thanks, Time Team
Be back in 4 hours for Time Team Assemble! ✊🔥😂
Loved this one😎
Oh wow! I just saw the lady using the ancient whisk, and I couldn't help but laugh! My grandmother had a whisk just like that one! Not so ancient, maybe 20 years ago 😄
Incredible, I didn't realize it was such an ancient invention.
One of the more interesting episodes, ❤ timeteam
I remember the original episode. Great to see where they are up to. Incredible
My ex's parents lived just up the Loch from there in Achern. Lovely bit of the world.
Time Team is awesome!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the Time Teamers.
🎅🏻🎄☃️🌠
Uber interesting, looking forward to more.
loved this special, of this revist of this Loch in Loch Tey. Found it very interesting, just hoping Nicholas will be around in another 10 yrs to see it all completed. 20 some yrs on one project shows his and his wife's passion for this site. Great work!
I came here straight after the episode on the early Christian monastery on the Isle of Mull, and by God, is the Scottish countryside beautiful! I really need to visit Scotland.
Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to the whole Time Team Crew 😅
I've been in that roundhouse...but it burnt down a couple of years ago,i think they're building another,close by
Fascinating!
A stunning video....again! Also your still pics were exceptional I thought - thank you.
Very cool.
Merry Christmas from Gardendale, Alabama, USA❤
Ha! Merry Christmas neighbor! From Fultondale, AL
Love Time Team and hope they can successfully resurrect the show.
hey from Warrior Alabama!!
Hay Bama folk!! Y'all ever watch Adventure Archeology? They do bottle digs and metal detecting in our area.

how stunning vlog-see ya- Time. 👍
I was 21 when this episode came out
16:22 Hirdle fence...Still built in Newfoundland, though not so much nowadays. Here it's called a 'riddle fence' which I guess could be a bastardisation of the Irish word.
Thanks.
I wonder if newer 3d scanning technology can be used to record underwater.
I spy video tapes and CRT screens in the office, truly ancient artefacts.
And then they built another crannog to excavate the old crannog.
The new one being the scaffolding over the water.
very interesting
OMG Look at that constucted wood work in the underwater shot at 1:57 I was to see and know more about that and/or what the wise ones think that is...
Nice!!!

Loch Tay, Kenmore, Perthshire. Man made years ago, not even sure if it is still thee due to bad weather, but could be wrong, certainly old news.
Great episode. Not sure why they needed to draw everything instead of using photography
A very poignant episode given that the crannog burnt down a couple of years ago and is being rebuilt just like the ancient people re-built their crannog many times.
The new one is on the other side of the loch though.
Hahaahahah everyone was like oh here we go where the guy with white hair started talking. He was a strict taskmaster
Remember Baldrick, Blackadder ?
Neetoo 👍😁
A shame it burnt down.
Just a question do you have any ideas of what people can use old prescription bottles for? I have one idea, but I have a lot more prescription pill bottles and I need some ideas! Thanks in advance.
I don't get it, how comes the photography quality is better here than later episodes? 😮
Ahhh, it's not a regular episode! That's why the photography is better... 😮😊

The ancient residents left to fight the Roman invasion...
I have found out the reconstruction burned down.
Did they do another crannog in about 1993?
Interesting insights into surviving as an academic and as student…teaching whilst researching and the use of students as slave labour!
I'm not sure how a wooden structure, supported by wooden logs, and a wooden wharf is built for protection? Simply add a torch (fire) and the inhabitants are not so well protected.
❤️🖐
starsky and hutch
Cant get past Dr Nick, as being a Scots, inshore, James Cameron! Maybe it's the fine head of hair!
Why didn't the wood float when it collapsed?
It was waterlogged. wood has to be mostly dry to float.
30:31 that kid in the background is like wtf is this shit? lol.

Aaww
Except most of you lot can't pronounce loch, or care to even try to. As someone who grew up on Loch Lomond, this is ridiculous. Stewart, (a nice Scots name) it's not a lock, it's a loch.
Yeah I’m not buying the climate made them build a platform in the loch to live when the weather gets bad or cold that would be last place I would want to be. There’s another reason and that lake looks devoid of life and food to harvest, yes maybe 2000 years ago when the depth were lower it may have been teaming with fish but going out in a boat would be dangerous in the winter winds, rains or cold as hell or frozen over and that’s why they built them?
Why would you live in a hut exposed on 6 sides to the elements or raise sheep/live stock out there?
You wouldn’t and a big storm or wind would occasional blow it down.. and you’d build another on top of that structure.
That is the accumulation of years of rebuilds, there was a dwelling tucked up on shore protecting the clan and the live stock.
It sure wouldn’t be a good place to fend off an attack and when all the other clans around the loch are doing the same thing it’s a fishing shack.
In this time period, structures this shape and size, including those built under easier conditions on land, were dwellings. As mentioned, the climate changed around this time, too. They mention less accessible arrable land (in the Highlands, anything above a certain altitude would no longer be suitable); would yuo build your house on land you need to grow your crops on, to pasture your animals? A lot has happened throughout history since then which caused farming in parts of Scotland to move away from crops, which contributes to why the landscape around Loch Tay looks very different today, than it would have in the Iron Age.
Scottish waters are pretty famous for their salmon. They still are. There's literally a curious fish (not a salmon) in one of the shots while they're excavating. That lake is not devoid of life.
So boring😢
Were the people who lived in these Crannogs Picts?
