King Arthur’s Hall: A new discovery?Roy Goutte writes - "On the 16th April I joined a working party from TCV (The Conservation Volunteers) of Cornwall to clear some of the gorse off the banked enclosure known as King Arthur’s Hall on King Arthur’s Down, a part of Bodmin Moor. Always a fascinating place to visit, the day turned out to be far more exciting than I ever imagined!"

Archaeology: A Secret HistoryArchaeology: A Secret History. Episode one: In the Beginning. Reviewing in the 27 April-3 May edition of The Radio Times, Gill Crawford writes - “Archaeology isn’t a new, rigidly scientific discipline. According to Dr Richard Miles (presenter of 2010’s Ancient Worlds), the first person to set out to dig up the past was the Emperor Constantine’s aged mother Helena, who searched the Near East in the early fourth century for physical evidence of the life and death of Christ. “Richard Miles charts the history of archaeological breakthroughs in a mission to understand the ancient past. In the first programme [the first of three], he explores how the profession began by trying to prove a biblical truth.” The series begins Tuesday, 30 April from 9:00-10pm on BBC4 television.
