I have just read that the Time Team episode due to be shown on C4 on Sunday 7th November 5.30pm will be a dig at Dinmore Hill Herefordshire - Iron Age Hillfort. I assume it is the site on here listed as Dinmore Camp?
I know TT isn't everyone's cup of tea but it may be worth watching this one?
I enjoyed it immensely, Carl. It was nice to see some prehistory for a change, and Francis Pryor back enthusing with Phil. It proved to be an interesting site, and there's so much left to dig in the future. So many questions were left unanswered, which only adds to the interest.
By the way, it wasn't my cup of tea - I was drinking beer at the time. Must've belonged to someone else.
Cheers,
TE.

Indeed, the whole programme was impressive in the resultant disclosure,but I agree it seemed to leave more questions than answers...
I enjoy TT but their "only 3 day" rule is a bit of a cop-out(a televisual ploy to add a sense of urgency??)..If a site has so much to offer it should be investigated thoroughly...and deserving of a whole series until it has been explained away in it's entirety...not just piecemeal.
Another downside is..the show then leaves a lot of sites "advertised" as a place rich in finds which might encourage the less scrupulous to go and have a rummage on the off-chance of finding something of value(I mean something floggable not as a historic item)which they might pocket and lose the in situ archeology...and maybe even claim to have found elsewhere...muddying the waters of our knowledge even further.
Sorry didn't mean to have a rant at TT
