Tony and the Team descended on the orchards of Kent to search for the site of the lost Anglo-Saxon palace of Eastry - and investigated not one but two likely contenders.
One site seemed to have it all: lots of Saxon brooches discovered by metal detectorists, a prominent position on a hilltop, and what looks like the remains of three defensive ditches on aerial photographs.
But a mile away the owner of Eastry Court, one of the oldest houses in England, believes that his gardens hold the remains of the palace.

Every time they find a broach from any era, I imagine a woman suddenly feel her tunic come undone and she drops to her knees, searching with one hand while she holds up her tunic with the other. Another woman comes over-"What's wrong Aelgifu?" "My broach came undone! I can't find it!" Her friend calls out "Thelind! Gytha! Come help Aelgifu find her broach!" They run over. "Not the little silver one with the garnet?" Aelgifu is crying. "Yes, the one of the new ones Bynwick gave me". All four women crawl around in the dirt, searching, but they never do find it. They lead Aelgifu away, crying. What sort of husband was Bynwick? Did he slap her for losing it? Did he go to the jeweler and have a replacement made? I think about that time in the airport I was on the floor for 20 minutes, searching for one of my mom's favorite earrings while she freaked out (we found it). Every little find like that, these beads and broaches and hair pins, if it's not a grave or a ritual sacrifice, was a moment of someone cursing and frantically searching, having to come to terms with permanantly losing a little treasure.

I agree, I really like what he brings to things, though of course Phil is still my favorite cast member. There was one episode where Stewart pointed out that the gates they found were backwards, and off angle for the house they were digging, and they just laughed at him. To this day I still think he was right, and they simply didn't look for whatever they had been built for.

Pat Meyer: Actually, No! The expression "Sweet Fanny Adams", which really means "very little" is the original term. It relates back to the abduction and murder of a young girl, Fanny Adams, in 1867. She was butchered and parts of her were cut into very small piece that took a long time to find (Hence, small piece of Sweet Fanny Adams). Here's the Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Adams The other expression, "Sweet F**k All" is a much later derivation.

Nice idea.but a bit out of kilter time wise There are many Moot sites in England, mostly forgotten about. In the days before central government,(Saxon) they were places where people would come to thrash out boundary disputes, land and water rights, maybe even arrange marriages and meet partners from beyond their own communities. It has been suggested that once the legal stuff was finished they took on a fair like quality with traders and entertainments and no doubt booze. No one was allowed to carry weapons. The Moots were in a neutral place, central to several communities, such as crossroads. Which would explain all the roads converging on this hill. I grew up near a major crossroads that led to some very old places and aligned on at least one major hill that had been quarried as far back as the Iron Age, maybe earlier. Old documents suggested that there had once been a stone circle up there. Anyway the interesting thing for me as a child was a hundred yards from the crossroads was a totally modern pub called The Moot Meet! I had never heard a name like it and I had not a clue what it meant. Strangely neither did any of the adults that I knew. It wasn't until I was in my thirties and hanging around with 'Earth Mysteries' types, that I learned about Moots and the penny dropped. I have no idea who named the pub, but they knew something all us locals had forgotten. By the way, the Pagan community in the area have revived the principle of the Moot somewhat. but now they are basically a meet up in the local pub with like minded people. Sadly, they are not held in the Moot Meet, as I believe that is now a car wash!

I would guess the palace is under the house. Like churches built right ontop of the old one that was torn down. It seems like it was the Tudor period when building were torn down and a new one was built next to it. If you look at allot of posh buildings before the Tudor period you have remains of the buildings before, Early Tudor could have a medieval hall as part of the new house and late was all new in a different spot.

I loved Time Team and I have a lot of respect for everyone who worked on it, however you would have to say the least successful element of the show was definitely geophysics. If you watch a lot of episodes you will note that John and his team are wrong far more often that they are right. Geophysics made for an interesting angle on the show but it was quite often, pretty useless and on many occasions led the team to waste their time digging 'red herrings' when they could have been doing better things. At various times throughout the 20 years the programme was on air, we see John getting excited about new equipment but the results always seemed to be just as bad, LOL.

"Stone the crows" is an expression people in England use when something is either unbelievable or annoying. "Crickey" is an expression of surprise. "Sweet fanny adams" means "nothing". All these are a genuine and historical part of the English language. What you're listening to in this series is British English, which is rather more colourful, original and a lot more pleasant to the ear than American English.

Brisdad, The Southern way of speaking, especially in certain areas is a direct result of Irish, Scots and English developing in isolated areas and use many words which their ancestral races long ago stopped using. When you consider that, we aren't childlike compared to our forebears at all, we are an extension of them and can claim their history as part of our own. My personal family history is Irish and Chickasaw so even in this land part of my ancestry goes back much, much further than 250 odd years. I was referring to our use of language in the Southeastern part of the US in which many have Irish/British ancestry and as a result have their own colorful usage and phrases which stem from their own ancestry, not to our nation's relatively short history. Even the traditional music known as Bluegrass stems from Irish/ British traditional music, a lot of the instruments being the same, some dropped, some added, and many of the tunes from the old country being re-written here. Listen to the Connemara Cradle Song sometime and then listen to a Bluegrass tune called Here The Wind Blow and you'll see what I'm alluding to, or another old Irish Tune called Come In and tell me it doesn't sound just like an American Civil War tune called Marching Through Georgia.

You don't need to say "British English" because England is in Britain. It's like saying "Female Woman". You only need to say if it's a variation of English spoken somewhere other than England like " Australian English" or even "American English"

So US history doesn't start with the English, Spanish, French or the Natives that have been here for some 10,000 years it starts right around 250 years ago? Everyone's past doesn't count as soon as you hit that 250ish year barrier? Rather silly thing to say to me that I have no history at all as soon as my relatives came over from Germany/Poland in the 1870s.

In saxon times "MOOTS" were held in a locally prominent and well known obvious location every few years, to settle disputes, announce laws and conduct necessary public business for the surrounding population. these were strictly temporary establishments to achieve a specific function, and would have left few permanent signs on the landscape. Perhaps hundreds or thousands of people would have gathered there for a few weeks however, and they took on the atmosphere of a "fair" with entertainments, trading and socializing and all the other aspects of a large public event. the elite and high government officials would have been there also, but most likely in tents or temporary structures. Since it was an intermittent and temporary event, no permanent structures would have been put up, especially on such an exposed site. This hill is most likely such a site. With so much going on, and probably the liberal consumption of Mead, it's no wonder so many finds were found littering the site. I know that when I go to the fair, i have to be very careful not to lose something out of my pockets, especially after a few beers!

Sometimes finding nothing in itself answers questions. It may be less interesting that finding a Saxon hall e.g. but it clears up whether what people think is under a certain bit of land, really is. personally I like the fact Time Team was a very genuine programme where, if they found nothing, that would be what we'd see. Contrast that with all these modern antique-hunting programmes etc. that are supposedly real but totally scripted and fixed. Time Team was scripted, and of course they edited events to make the 'story' of the programme more interesting but they really did turn up at a site for three days not being certain what they would find. That was its charm. Time Team was always about answering a question that would be related to interpreting a site, not digging shiny things out of the ground. That is, after all, what archaeology really is.

a big hill in a flat land can be a sacred site to pagans I don't think they dug deep enough these people are so narrow minded they can't conceive that a simple open space can be as spiritually inspiring as a cathedral they are so out of touch with nature they can't allow the grandeur of being in my people's shoes at the top of that hill the biggest they.ve ever seen where you can see everything for miles around fills you with awe and wonder, it is like us climbing the great pyramid in egypt. then there is the possibility that such a hill is not natural. it is an oddity. maybe the pagans built it......
