showed what happens when you don't look at old maps of an area (surely this would have turned up the 18thC farm buildings) and why you should always double check what is there (they mis-identified the natural apart from Mick, so nearly missed the little that was left)

They did mention 18thC farm buildings being on site on a couple of occasions.

I thought it was Mr Bog, Frances Pryor who thought of digging a bit deeper?
What I though was that the huge looking section of a circular feature that showed up on the geo-physics was dismissed as 'Frances thinks it's prehistoric'.
They also didn;t really find very much, just a pre-Roman Iron age settlement that happened to be on Anglesey. I think I get a bot over exited when Time Team do something that I'm really interested in and almost always end up dissapointed.
I really enjoyed the one last week at the school...
