Digging for Britain

Alice Roberts shares archaeological discoveries from the west of the UK, including the biggest maritime excavation since the Mary Rose, a Roman bath house and a German camp.

This year's best archaeological finds from the east of the UK: a monument as old as Stonehenge, a dig at the site of Britain's first tank battle and some disturbing Roman burials.

Alice Roberts follows the excavation of Iron Age Britain's most spectacular grave. A team of archaeologists in East Yorkshire have uncovered the remains of only the third upright chariot burial ever found in Britain, and the only chariot burial ever found in this country with the chariot harnessed to two standing ponies. This sensational find is the lead dig for the Digging for Britain Iron Age special.
