Time Team revisits Athelney Abbey, the hideaway of Alfred the Great. They search for traces of King Alfred's fight against the Vikings. Previously the team found evidence of ironworking and discovered the Abbey built to commemorate Alfred's victory but they believe there are still more discoveries to be made. The site is naturally defended by marshes and floodable land, making it an ideal base for Alfred's fight against the Vikings. The team now has permission to dig and uncover more secrets of Alfred's Hideaway in the marshes.

Binge-watching Time Team episodes is one of the simple but satisfying pleasures in life.

So strange that they weren’t allowed to archeologically dig 10years ago, but the area was able to be ploughed for so many years. Luckily a lot of archeology was a lot deeper. I love time team and watch and rewatch just about every day.

Tom Rosenthal should have worn blue contact lenses when he played King Alfred the Great. Besides Tom Rosenthal looks much better with blue eyes than brown eyes. 🎭🩰🎨

If Tony had burnt those cakes any worse, they'd be mistaking those for pottery shards

Love to hear them say "slag" in English accents repeatedly, an absolute gem.

When you're the only monarch of a country known as The Great...enquring minds want to know

Watch season 1 episode 1 before this. “The Guerilla Base of the King”

It would be great to see geophys of the same place over time with improved technology.

WOW! I thought I had seen every Time Team episode that was ever made, but I missed this one! What a GEM!

As a norwegian, this is great to watch :)

The blood eagle is now thought to be very rarely done because there is very little mention of it in Viking sagas,etc. Thought to be only used in very serious offences. And also not possible from the front.- according to Doctors.
