Time Team S15-E03 5000 Tons of Stone, Hamsterley, County Durham

The Castles, near Hamsterley, County Durham, is an archaeological conundrum.

A massive rectangular dry-stone enclosure, some 75 metres by 90 metres, it has been described variously as an Iron-Age fort, a Roman penal colony, a native sub-Roman or Anglo-Saxon encampment, and a Romano-British farmstead.

Time Team's main objective at the mysterious site is to try to discover its true function and date.
