Time Team

Tony Robinson and the team investigate the remains of the first fort built to defend the south coast of England from invasion by revolutionary French forces in the 1790s. On a densely wooded cliff-top site in Kent, the archaeologists start to build a picture of this landmark in British military history, revealing the sheer scale of the fortifications built to protect this crucial element of Britain's `front line'.
