CAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND THE LOST 11TH-CENTURY MALTON CASTLE? | TIME TEAM | CHRONICLE

Cinemavixion Review

Tony Robinson and his Time Team return to the field, this time in Malton, North Yorkshire, a site layered with two millennia of English history. Their mission: to uncover the elusive 11th-century Malton Castle, amidst the remnants of a Jacobian mansion and a Roman fort. The landscape, a 'nettle-infested jungle,' promises rich discoveries, with a substantial mound hinting at medieval fortifications. As the team plans their excavation, they navigate the complexities of working on a scheduled ancient monument. While evidence of medieval structures and other historical artifacts emerges, the precise location of the castle remains shrouded, partly obscured by the presence of gardens. This episode highlights the persistent challenges and rewarding, albeit sometimes inconclusive, nature of archaeological exploration, leaving the ultimate secrets of Malton Castle to await future investigations.
