Re: BBC Four - Digging for Britain

I definitely agree that this series is sharper and has gone up a notch. Tonights was the most enjoyable one I've seen, and the Hebridean crannog dig indeed revelatory, textbook rewriting stuff. I must confess to developing quite a 'thing' about them. If they now date back to 2800BC I also wonder, given the huge amount of effort taken to construct - one example tonight being composed of 1500 tons of boulders deposited by canoe - and continued security offered, whether there are some where a dig may reveal continued occupancy over millennia. Perhaps, given silting over time, the earliest may now be on dry land, rendering excavation easier. Who knows, there may even be some incorrecly identified as mounds or cairns.
