Time Team to dig for Roman villa at Fiennes’ castle
The nation’s favourite history programme Time Team is back on digital platforms - and the first dig will be an enormous Roman villa on the Broughton Estate near Banbury.
The hands-on team of expert archaeologists will be unearthing a building thought to be as large as Buckingham Palace.
There may be mosaics, a bath house and even temples. It is thought it could be one of the biggest discovered in recent times.
The Broughton Estate is owned by Martin Fiennes – a cousin of actors Joseph and Ralph – who coincidentally played archaeologist Basil Brown in the recent Netflix movie The Dig..
