An aerial survey of a field in Worcestershire has uncovered cropmarks that hint at significant Bronze Age discoveries, alongside Iron Age remnants. Time Team steps in to investigate. Local schoolchildren participate in fieldwalking, while Mick demonstrates how cropmarks and posthole impressions appear in the landscape. Francis Pryor elaborates on the distinctions between the Bronze and Iron Ages, sharing insights about life in a roundhouse. The team is joined by archaeologist Malcolm Atkin and environmentalist Liz Pearson, with wood expert Guy Apter engaging the kids in crafting a Bronze Age ard (plough).
