- Time Team go to the Scottish Highlands! There's an island-ish round area of stones in Loch Migdale - could it be a crannog? 200 meters away on the banks is a small (12 m diameter) circular feature - is it a henge? Time Team rounds up some experts on the prehistoric Highlands and finds out.

I dont say that the stones there now are modern.
Only what we see nowadays might not be what it was originally
I really like that this show gets straight to the point and doesn't add unnecessary drama to the narration.
Are you from the states?
I am not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but I agree, they do achieve drama and suspense, but they do this mainly by creating an episodic structure within the overall film. In the meantime, by partially organizing the order of the mini episodes inside the video, they create suspense and drama naturally, as it arises from the competing theories of the scientists, who often have several probable explanations for whatever they're digging, but which wax and wane in likelihood as evidence emerges. because this is often an exercise in digging through layers of history, with older events perhaps obscured by more recent, what ends up happening is almost like a 'plot' to the story of the dig. it's actually kind of fascinating that it seems to consistently produce enough elements to make an episode really interesting.
I am sure that the footage is carefully arranged to maximize this, but archeology is actually exceedingly boring MOST of the time, this approach captures the fun bits, which tend to be rare, and often separated by enough time that the last guy to dig there and never come back despite possibly promising results may be dead and buried. One major advantage this crowd has is obviously enough resources to make a more thorough assessment over the course of multiple uninterrupted days. I suspect thats in part because of these videos, which I presume would have helped fund the archeology in a way most scientists in the field (literally not a field but a lake this time, lol)would probably cheerfully stab their dept heads at the college to get secured for projects.
The danger of course is that in pursuit of good TV, or drama or whatever, sloppy work or careless practice could become harmful. I know a couple of people with advanced archeology degrees, there are more of the than you might think, it's just that there are almost NO JOBS in the field. Need an archeologist, put a posting up in the break room at you local drone filled office building and you are likely to find dozens. They all work so that on vacation they can go dig things without pay, and incur great personal expense. I can't imagine how confused the show principals must have been to learn they are going to be paid, actual money, to do archeology. I am almost not joking, it's criminal really, that such an important field of human endeavour usually brings co recompense. Anyway, the two archeologists I know both said they love this show, and that the science is usually pretty accurate, and the team are real archeologists etc. They also said that it must be very much more difficult to do this work in Britain, where a lot of sites have been more or less inhabited for thousands and thousands of years. People tend to seek the same places to live, after all, and they tend to be relatively scarce. Only so many locations are good for building a hill out, which in turn becomes a Norman keep and so forth.
So plenty off drama here, but it seems not the dkind that destroys sites, or annoys us watchers. Quite the accomplishment.
They found more in a single day then in 10 years of Oak island.
woohoo!!
Tru, WTF?
Oak island is a joke
lol..
LOL 😂
LOL -- if looks could kill.... when Carenza was accused of only wanting to find "pretty things"! Glad Tony called out the other guy.

Jan I couldn't agree more on your statement about getting away from 2020 politics. This and many others like it is good for my head! Archeology has always fascinated me and brought me to a good place.

First they will say it some sort of religious site because of the sacrifices of all the little plastic three-legged tables.
Any negligible "global warming" will be counteracted by the impending ice age. A slight rise of the sea level will quickly go back down. And they'll continue going down, exposing the bering strait and many other submerged pieces of land. Your house will be cool but much further from the coast than it is now.

I’ve watched TimeTeam from the start. Never realised that Stewart had such lovely long eyelashes. Anyway. Back to archaeology. This one was close to my heart being in Scotland. *sigh* when born in Scotland you grow up surrounded by all the Old Stuff. You never think much about it, just accept it as your predecessors footprints. It’s reassuring and comforting. I’m also very impressed that Tony, as a sassanach, can pronounce Loch properly.💐😊💐
Aye, but they didna put Loch in the title!
it must be so reassuring to have, metaphorically, your ancestors' arms around you all the time. we new-worlders know our history and wear our lineage with pride, but there's something a bit defiant about it, even at Grandfather Mountain.
cheers to you.

@Pete Pete, asks question in form of statement, thus annoying me.
Ok, It def. took me a minute to realize the guy had a shirt on underneath his jacket because its so flesh colored. I thought the buttons were a necklace.
I kept thinking why tf does this guy not have a shirt on and his jacket unzipped so far??? lol🤣🤣
Phil and Henry's wetsuit in the lake scene gets me everytime I watch. Love you guys from America.
Another fantastic episode. Not to mention a unique thing to learn about: a crannog-- not something I have seen alot of in landlocked Ontario, lol, certainly a very interesting concept for housing that's for sure!!👍
Most people look terrible in a scuba suit, but just like his daisy dukes 😉, Phil ROCKED that scuba suit!!🤭 Team Phil!!👍💖🐾🌈🇨🇦
We don't call them Lakes.....its Loch. Your welcome 👍🏴
I can't wait for Time Team to go back there and do more in depth excavations. Please Time Team go do further excavations at this site.
Omg this one is the best episode. Phil & Henry in the lake makes me laugh so much! Love ❤️ from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Before Stonehenge was built, there has been the discovery of a wooden henge as well, which was underwater for very long time.

Something left out of this discussion.... 4000 years ago, the water level of this lake was likely to be different than today
I thought they said two feet
Great free, quality documentaries on YT, nice
So that’s what Sting wrote the song about. “At at the bottom of a dark Scottish Loch.” Professor Gordon Sumner, amazing again:)
"Is that deep enough for you Henry?"
"Let's see what happens. You'd be fine"
Sudden plunge!
"Whoah! I'm not going in there!"
😂😂😂😂😂
Phil: I am a digger not a surveyer.
Tony: Then pretend this is a long thin shovel, you will be okay.
British humour!
The henge would be a place for ritual transformation, like transition to adulthood or to holy orders. Exiting the henge would be like being reborn out into the world as a changed being.
My nine year old lives Tony in the Worst Jobs in History. This show? “Mommy, all they do is mumble stuff and dig things.” 😂
I love Phil's starfleet uniform at 3:44
😆
many miles away there's a shadow on the door, of a cottage on the shore, of a dark Scottish lake
"You found something in the dirt? Let's get drunk!" Tony probably @44:40
Completely unrelated: I want Tony's oversized sweater and I don't want to knit it myself.

We have Lochs in Scotland, not Lakes.
Putting Phil in the water is great. He can't talk. It must have been tortuous for him.
It's a good thing Marion Fraser had a good memory: she was able to give Stewart excellent directions to the location where the Migdale Hoard was found.
Well done Marion.
Francis's focus made me think of a man delivering a baby--that ginger hold, the careful motions, the narrow view... it was cute.
What are the gold flowered bushes? Gorse? Quite lovely.
Buncha English, poking around Scotland, trying to figure out, who did what, to whom, behind what barn, for how many cookies. Gonna be some whiskey over the dam afore they figure it out right.

This is exciting ! Cheering you in spirit from Santa Monica California.
Super cool I love this kind of show
This whole episode reminds me of Broken Swords "Eye of the needle" puzzle.
Dude is literally corrected by a professional and continues to just call it a henge
I have to wonder if the lake hut might have been the community headman's domicile; & perhaps a defensible position for them when experiencing marauders. Just a thought anyway.
Could the directional markings be for planting, seasonal, star alignments.
These archaeological digs and ocean dives always seem to be under some 3-7 day deadline.
The whole project gets aborted.
My sense in this project is that the loch water level was much lower.
Was it some recreational area where the group would Barbecue fish or an occasional aurochs on a Saturday night? Certainly not some defensible space. Was there any connection to Dirt Henge?
The Loch it is said
Never gives up her dead.
There were no bronze swords or silver coin hoards.
Just some rocks, timbers, and some tent pegs.
So the TimeTeam crew
Went home empty too. But the site at last it was dated. And they ended show with more plans don't you know for further achlogical expiration.
Saturday night barbecue, Sunday morning church
love this one !!
It's called a "Crannog".
It was never a mystery.....
Them standing on the ring in the water with all the bright plastic colors looks like an archeologists party 🥳

Fascinating and amazing! K.B.

Great history
What an talent gone Mr Víctor Ambros.
22:15 - I often see these yellow-flowered bushes on Time team. What are they called?
14:51 This guy sounds like Sam Gamgee. I thought he was so excited because he found evidence of ancient taters.
Thank you timeline
Nice one !
Basically, they found a clock~ 2000 years old, generations in the making.
Well they sure picked a gorgeous spot.
Shout-out to Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray in the thumbnail photo🙌
🤣🤣🤣
I had to double take, but accurate 😁
Also resembles David Freeman who built the wicker man in the Time Team episode digging for a druid settlement.
LOL .. Frances and his holy sites ... everything seems to have religious content .. We just don't know ... unless that's a loophole that saves the site from people .. another great old TimeTeam !
Well, when your existence is precarious at best, at the whims of weather, crops growing, or raiders coming after you, religion becomes a lot more important.
Thank you
i love this stuff.
Very interesting
I sympathize with those men who have to dig with naked hands ,the chill factor would make mine ache.
TY 😃
I once attended a Time Team dig back in '99. It was a very tense affair - nothing like the chirpy nature we see when televised. I can recall Tony Robinson going berserk over a discarded plastic water bottle. He began to aggressively challenge everyone in the hope of finding the culprit. The situation took a sour turn when Tony confronted a small group of school children who were tasked with sifting through the top soil. The children, however, believed it was a lark and began to giggle. This infuriated Tony; and he attempted to lunge at them with his leather belt. He was then immediately overpowered by Phil Harding and the fella with the multi-coloured hippy hat and hauled away - practically lifted from the ground - and placed in the rear seat of a parked Range Rover. Once the outburst dissipated, the children were escorted from the dig and the producer closed the site for a number of hours. Never did find the identity of the litter lout.
Brilliant😂😂😂
My son attended a television dig with Neil Oliver at Stirling castle, they dug for hours, found absolutely nothing then Oliver sent someone up to the castle for some archeology, and they planted it in the ground to be filmed being found.
Good joke lol
The good news: it's a crannogh. The bad news: we destroyed it

@@Ed19601 reading comprehension isnt your strong suit apparently.
@@AudioJeep perhaps, but it would certainly help if you would have made a clear point to begin with rather than trying to hide that with an ad hominem.
I am an empath…. I am getting that the hoard from the older rock blast was from a market… either a trader’s wares or a meeting site/crossroad for long distance traders.
Stewart not liking the word henge is just semantics. A henge isn't only stone. So him not wanting to use the word is just contributing to public ignorance. If you don't use "henge" people will keep thinking they are only stone.
A henge isn't stone at all. Some henges had stone or wooden structures associated with them but a henge is a circular monument with an external bank and internal ditch. Stonehenge is not actually a henge because the bank is inside the ditch.
thank you
(Hendge) It makes sence to build the center up. Build your house then have a trench around it so the ground inside yiur house doesn't get wet.
Another idea is your roof over time makes a trench around the house as the water falls.
That is one good looking Scot!
Thank you Tony, its a loch, not a lake!
Great, Ramona, and I am from Northern Ireland and agree with you!!!
google "Loch" ... in German
So many variations Thomas, which one do you mean. Anyhow it's fascinating how many words in the Scottish dialects come originally from the continent, Swedish, German and French in particular.
@@ramonamcmahon3248 Thanks Ramona
@Irish Jester a loch is a Scottish term for a body of inland water, a lake is the English version.
Was anyone else curious what a "styke" was at first 🤣
A stake?
40:04 a stake to go with our chips...DING!
Interesting excavations, imagenative narrative. BTW. I also have wandered freely around Stone Henge, many moons ago, before "English Heritage" (so called), surrounded it with a ring of steel and contrarily to the gift to the nation of the Victorian landowner hijacked it made it conditionally available to only those with a pocket full of money and disenfranchised everyone else.
It is sad that the public have to pay to access the monuments that belong to us all. Unfortunately, now that the government have withdrawn 100% of their funding from English Heritage, things are unlikely to get better any time soon.
That's very sad and unjust, indeed. Though it might also protect the site from the disrespectful tourists that draw graffitis or carve onto the stones of the sites....
@@cameleonfleuri Hopefully. I'm afraid that the tourists would plan and save specifically to go to Stonehenge...

I love this era of Time Team. Once Phil and Francis left the show went down hill fast.
Both Phil and Francis were present until the end. Mick Aston was not in the final series, however.
Why oh why oh WHYYYY did they cut off the intro and the little leader bit where Tony explains where they are and what they're doing?! BAD EDITING!
SIR TONY ! DRAMS UP BEAUTIES !
What in the world would be the reason to put that much work into having a hut on the loch, why would someone build like that, it's not far enough to avoid enemies.
60 meters from shore is quite some way out....
And makes all but the waterborne or determined swimmers (not too many did) and perhaps archers with fire not an immediate threat- and thus escape with all portable goods across the loch or even just to the MIDDLE and wait them out was a viable survival protocol.
A little island to canoe out to, picnic, have the village fete. Children playhouse. Barbecue.
Maybe for fishing🤔
Maybe the water level was much lower?
When was this episode filmed?
It was filmed in March 2003 and first broadcast on 18th January 2004.

He keeps calling it a henge bc he wants to over sell for tv
Love how the one gentleman even told him to stop calling it a henge.
It is a circular monument with an external bank and internal ditch. That is the archaeological definition of a henge (although because of its small size this would technically be called a hengiform monument or mini henge). Somewhat ironically, by this definition, the most famous 'henge' of all is not actually a henge.
