Series 18 Episode 11: Rooting for the Romans

An eagle-eyed forest ranger had spotted bits of Roman building poking out from the forest floor in Cambridgeshire's Bedford Purlieus Wood, and cutting-edge aerial visualisations reveal evidence of a complex of building foundations hidden in the woods. Tony and the team investigate what these buildings were and why they were here. It's a straightforward question, but the dig is one of the most challenging of the series.
