The Ancient Roman Fort That Was Also A Massive Iron Age Settlement | Time Team

The National Trust Roman fort of Branodunum has produced some impressive aerial photographs of cropmarks, promising substantial buildings and multiple finds from the second to the fourth centuries AD and initial geophysics results are also hugely encouraging. If anything it was larger than the current Brancaster. When the Time Team decide to put in a trench investigating a potential earlier fort, they find evidence of the Iron Age that will transform what everyone had been previously thinking about the site.
