Medieval Archaeologists Find 3 Lost Medieval Castles | Time Team
00:00 King Edward III's Castle
The team investigate King Edward III's Queenborough Castle at the mouth of the Thames, the last medieval royal palace. They explore whether the castle's purpose was defence, or to protect the royals from the plague.
48:08 Dungannon Castle
The team visits Northern Ireland to locate one of the most important sites in Anglo-Irish history - a hilltop castle above the city of Dungannon, home of the powerful O'Neill dynasty, whose story culminates in the hugely significant flight of the Earls. The team is joined by Colm Donnelly, Hiram Morgan, Paul Logue, and Jim O'Neill.
01:35:00 Empress Matilda's Fortress
Is this the English Empress Matilda’s castle from The Anarchy? A peaceful waterside field beside the oldest bridge over the higher reaches of the River Thames in Oxfordshire poses the perfect setting for an assault. Time Team set out to uncover what looks like the remains of a large medieval castle buried under the grass. Could this be all that remains of a long-lost fortress built during one of the bloodiest episodes of English history?

Omg ! The two nutters and Phil are just the BEST!!!
Time Team talks castles i listen. Love you guys
I love this episode! I learn so much English, Scottish, and Irish history from this show. Being of English and Scottish ancestry, I love to watch Time Team. Thank God it is available to stream.
Edward III was the winner of the Battle of Crecy. It stands to reason that some of his works would be influential to future kings.
I know the Dark Ages isn't a very popular term these days with academics, but man, it sure is evocative.
Love watching archaeology shows! We get to see what they unearth and learn more in the process as well. I wish Canada had a similar show but i'm happy being able to watch any shows like this. Time Team is awesome!
love this they are so much younger here
😊🤭
Best time team video iv ever seen, well done.
Always enjoy !
They are really doin sum diggin arent they
Phil is almost in Chiner!

Discover the mysteries of three long-lost Dark Age castles in this enthralling documentary about the field of mediaeval archaeology. 🏰✨
Wish there were castles here in Texas ):
Sink into the sand
There is one that I know of
@@zackwalker664 I'm curious 🤔 where please?
@@lisalking2476 Google Newman's castle, and there seem to be others !
Newman's castle in Bellville, tx
If i could do a do over on life..i would be an archeologist....👍
Same here
Me too! Instead of having children!
ty!!!!!
this is the classic show time team. Which lasted 25 years ,I think . And no way did the time time say these were dark age castles . Castles djd not exist until around 1000 ad..
Castles in the UK arrived after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
@@eddygonzalez60181066, the year Hardrada was defeated.
I'm pretty sure these guys did the voice over work for stronghold
Somehow I only find myself wishing that all the historical places could be reconstructed simultaneously…
Dark Ages? Matilda - ok, maybe. Edward III or XVI cent? Nah. (I know there are people who use that terminology broadly, but by the time of the O'Neil castle, the Renaissance was already over in Italy! And 14th century, while very grim, was well into, if not past, the High Middle Ages.
And now the natives of Britain are experiencing the same thing happening to ourselves today ?.

I enjoy watching these videos, but I don't understand the purpose. Why do they only work for three days? And what happens when their time is up?
They have a full time job during the week also doing archeology so F/S/Su are the only days they can do the show. If they don't finish something, they have to leave it as is. They have a strict permit schedule.
If they don’t do a bang up job, it’s off to the big tower with the lot of them 🤴🏼👸🏽
Time team is amazing, and I miss Mick!
I imagine it precipitates other digs. Their notes will save the next archeologists two and half days work.
@@brondavis1601, LOL!!! 😂
Why was it torn down?
1650
Do these experts even when medieval and dark ages occurred?
wha ? oh yeah, i had a big ol' castle then i misplaced it, don't know where.
I dont think its only 3 days the research geting people and permants have to tske at leqst 2-3 Months
1300 was not the dark ages, it would more accurately be called a part of the Middle Ages to late Middle Ages.
3 days for archaeology is nothing edit: actually watching the 2nd part of the video im sceptical they actually do it in 3 days, instead they have 3 days of recording in between however much time passes
I wish they would get more days and have more of an opportunity to dig in more areas. These guys are a trip! 😄but also do some interesting work depending on the episode.
Edward III not Dark Ages….
Dark ages are Early Middle Ages begins 0450ce with pendragon welsh monarchy to 800 Chuck Karoles of Aachen monarchy.
Uther Pendragon? I keep reading he's a mythological king. 🤔😉
@@eddygonzalez6018 Uther may be a myth, as well as Arthur but they were inspired by a semi-historical account of the native Britons defense against the Saxon incursion of Britain, along with the Angles. Though the man who inspired the tale may have been of Roman lineage, Ambrosius Aurelianus, as written about by Gildas a monk in the 6th century. He is considered by many to be the real King Arthur, or at least one of the many inspirations as mythical characters tend to be amalgamations of many.
Dark ages are from the fall of western Rome in 476 and ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. So, 500 AD - 1500 AD is what is regarded as the dark age of Europe.
Those are not dark age castles. Those castles are from high medieval time.
I take issue with you calling them "Medieval Archaeologists"
⚠⚠⚠use⚠⚠caution⚠⚠⚠
Dark Age isn't the 14th century.
I imagine it depends on definition of “dark ages” as some people would define dark ages as 3rd-11th century while others might push it all the way to the beginning of the Gutenberg Press and Protestant reformation. Besides, it’s all Middle Ages, low Middle Ages, high Middle Ages, late Middle Ages, Renaissance, etc.
I think the 1300s are still sometimes considered the “dark ages”
@@Danthesane I thought it was the time spanning the 3rd through the 11th century as you mentioned.
Definition of dark ages; period of time between the 4th and 10th century after the collapse of the Roman empire.
@@nostromo7928 it’s a contentious topic. It’s like asking “when did Rome fall” and some people will say when Constantinople was captured by Ottomans, others would say it was when the western Romans empire fell.
That guy really nerves me...
I would rather eat a bug than to see Phil in short pants.
Go ahead and eat all the bugs you want. Phil in shorts is pure eye candy to me.
Wearing life jackets on a big boat on a calm river shows what a weak nanny state the UK had already become by the start of the century, no wonder it's such a sad feeble woke train wreck now.
hate the background music
