interesting place, historical layer / disappeared object
This is Sedgefield, County Durham. A pretty little village surrounded by this lovely farmland, and we’ve got a mystery to solve.
Over there a metal detectorist found these. A hundred Roman silver and bronze coins, these broken broaches and this extraordinary goat amulet.
But why are they here? Maybe this air photograph can help.
You see all these crop marks, which look to me, remarkably like buildings.
But are they some previously unknown Roman fort or town or part of a temple complex? Could these coins be part of a hoard that was buried and lost nearly 1500 years ago?
Time Team have got just three days to find out.
