Surprise discovery in the heart of neolithic Orkney

Time Team archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams take you to the north of the British isles. Time Team's geophysicist John Gater has an exciting announcement to bring you about a remarkable neolithic site in Orkney, The Ness of Brodgar. You'll also hear about a site first investigated by Time Team in 1994. Finlaggen was the heart of a powerful community centuries ago. You'll meet the man who's spent his working life trying to unravel its secrets.
Dr Derek Pitman's also on the podcast with news of a Time Team film about England's oldest surviving shipwreck. Plus, Helen answers your questions.
