I've done a search and can't find the episode though. :(



You were right with the title. !

Well done mate, you're an oracle!

Shame it's not available to view, I remember it being a cracker. I've just watched the Sea Henge special and I'm leaning more towards the leave it be camp than before.

It seems they didn't learn a great deal from it; although I haven't read the book or the post excavation reports.

It was interesting what one of the locals at the consultation meeting said that they knew of it 50yrs ago and due to the sands and tide it would be covered up again.

I'm not sure if that's the case but perhaps it's appeared and disappeared a few times since it was built. It's a controversial episode I can see why Time Team would want to be distanced from it. They come across as sneering and dismissive of the druids which they probably regret with hind sight.




Haha, great minds, you're almost repeating my words in the OP.

I managed to find a torrent for the Thornborough episode, but there's only 2 seeds and either none are online or it's dead. I'll post back if anything comes of it.


You have mail re Time team torrents...
