Time Team investigate an iron age Fugou, a sort of underground chamber, whose purpose remains a mystery. Tony Robinson and the gang are trying to see if this subterranean complex extends further than previously thought and if there are any remnants of the iron age settlement that accompanied it.

Even with the mysterious dowsing, these older episodes are a million times better than the ones with the Kindergarten BS courtesy of Ochota and Langlands. They, and whomever decided to bring them on, really wrecked Time Team completely. Hopefully the new Time Team will never stoop to talking down to the audience like we are idiots. This episode, like all the Classic Time Team episodes, is just BRILLIANT!

It's so weird. Where I live in western Massachusetts, in USA, there are remarkably similar structures in the woods. We also have standing stones and mounds. There are similar places in the whole northeast. All anybody knows is that they're really old, pre colonial. But, the natives say they were there before them. Nobody's been allowed to investigate them in modern times. The most they'll let them do is geophys, but even if it shows something, it's just noted and they still aren't allowed to dig even a test pit. I wish we were more like other countries in the Americas, and could learn about our past, but nobody's ever allowed to dig up anything. Our archaeologists have to go to Mexico or Egypt to use their degrees.

The Fogou’s were for storage. If so very many were found, it’s hard to believe every family would have their own “church”. The site was domestic: pots and pans and the fireplace, nice little house and a wall to keep them safe. Life was hard, survival came first, the effort of making the tunnel had to have contributed to their survival. Otherwise it would not be worth the effort.

Here in southern Tennessee we call it witching for water and you have to be born with it in you to be able to witch for water. Dowsing is supposed to be for finding water. My uncle has dug hundreds of wells for people in the country and hits water every time. About 20% of them end up being sulfur water but all the rest have clean drinking water. And we use a forked stick. Idk about the rods this guy is using but you can witch water with a stick and it has to be a fresh green stick. It can’t be dry. Anyway just an fyi if anyone wanted it.

Suppose you better tell that to the owner of the Road Engineering firm that used dowsing to pin point an underwater seepage/stream that was causing grief with the repair of a section of highway that I was working on. Instead of getting an expensive ground penetrating radar - he just had a worker grab two "L" shaped wires - found the stream - did their civil engineering bit and fixed the problem. When I asked about the dowsing, the worker replied that they did it that way all time. To them it was just a nothing out of the ordinary. The whole crew could do it and it just happened to be the woman truck driver that did it when I saw the dowsing. Sure dowsing is nonsense - except they did it all the time successfully. Don't ask me why it worked it just did.

Anyone can do it. It's remarkable when it almost comes out of your hands because jerked so violently. The art is identifying what is in the ground by the feel. Rods will hit on metal, water, open areas subterranean. Buy two lengths (24") of 1/4 inch copper wire, put a 90° bend at one end of each. Long end facing out parallel to each other. Short end pointing up. Carry lightly at shoulder width with your thumbs on top of the short ends. I guarantee they will cross on their own in 50 paces. Anyone can do it. It's interpreting that is the skill. Edit- spelling
