FULL EPISODE | CLASSIC TIME TEAM SPECIAL

Time Team turn their attention to an important Royal Saxon tomb in Prittlewell, near Southend in Essex. During a routine road widening in late 2003, an impressive array of Saxon objects were uncovered, leading to an excavation by MOLA. Further excitement centred around the discovery of an intact wood-lined burial chamber, and its precious high-status contents were comparable to similar regional discoveries in Broomfield, Taplow, and Sutton Hoo. In this Classic Time Team Special from 2005, Tony Robinson is joined by Mick Aston, Helen Geake and Sam Newton to investigate further.

Original broadcast date: 13th June 2005.
