Episode Details

Wales is experiencing a historic aerial archaeology boom thanks to a relentless heatwave—revealing ancient Roman forts, Neolithic barrows, and even WWI trenches hidden beneath the soil. With dry conditions baking the land, sites once invisible from the ground are now popping up in drone and plane shots, prompting archaeologists like Dr. Toby Driver to race against time to document them before the weather shifts. From a 5,000-year-old long barrow near Welshpool to WWI trenches under a golf course in Deganwy, these discoveries are reshaping our understanding of Wales’ buried past—and proving extreme weather can be an unexpected time machine for history.
