Did we discover a medieval village?

Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams are back with another edition of the Time Team podcast on YouTube. In this episode Lawrence Shaw and Stewart Ainsworth make the tricky journey to a remote part of Northumberland. Might they have come across the site of a lost medieval village, or perhaps an ancient 'shieling' site? The pair debate how suitable the site might be for a larger Time Team investigation.

Also, Time Team's Carenza Lewis gives an update on work following our dig in the village of Norton Disney and Time Team's graphics whizz, Matt 'Bear' Clark, shows us behind the scenes on some of the works of art he's creating for the programme.

In Time Team News this month you'll learn about the discovery of a site for producing illicit whiskey, the medieval notebook lost in a toilet and the doomed 19th Century expedition to discover new trade routes. Links below.
