Can Archaeologists Find The Purpose Of This Prehistoric Monument?

Video Description

Atop Knockdhu in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, Time Team archaeologists are tasked with finding the purpose of this mysterious, rural monument. For the first time, archaeologists investigate a colossal 4,000-year-old promontory fort. Previously believed to be a simple hillfort, the site's complex defensive earthworks and a newly discovered village of perfectly preserved Bronze Age roundhouses tell a different story. In a race against time and the brutal weather, the team uncovers a sophisticated and well-connected community that traded across the Irish Sea, revealing a new chapter in Irish prehistory.
