A regular programme about the latest happenings in archaeology and history with Magnus Magnusson.

The uncovering at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk of an eighty-foot-long Anglo-Saxon warship with a magnificent royal treasure buried in it was brought to an abrupt close by the outbreak of war in 1939. South Cadbury hill fort in Somerset may be the site of King Arthur's Camelot. New Grange in County Meath, Ireland, is one of the largest and finest prehistoric burial mounds in Western Europe.
