History Documentaries

The intrepid archaeological treasure hunters, led by Tony Robinson, head for Malton in North Yorkshire where a swathe of nettle-infested jungle conceals 2,000 years of English history including a medieval castle, a Jacobian mansion, and a Roman fort. The team discovers a large mound suggesting a medieval castle and a trench is planned to investigate it further. There are specific terms and conditions for the excavation due to the site being a scheduled ancient monument. The team finds evidence of a medieval castle, a Jacobian mansion, and other artifacts, but the exact location of the castle remains uncertain due to the presence of gardens.
