Episode Details

Archaeologists in south Belfast have uncovered a 4,000-year-old bronze arrowhead at Giant’s Ring — a site already buzzing with ancient secrets, including a newly discovered stone circle likely used for ritual ceremonies during the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Led by aerial crop marks, the dig involved students and even local kids, turning history into hands-on learning. While experts speculate these circles may have tracked celestial events or served as calendars, they caution against imposing modern interpretations. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and running through June, the project reminds us that every dig — whether yielding a spearhead or a shard of pottery — adds another vital piece to our ancient puzzle.
