12 years on Time Team returns to the Roman Fort at Brancaster to tackle one of its biggest challenges yet: can you uncover an entire fort without digging? 

Armed with cutting-edge geophysics, John Gater, Jimmy Adcock and their teams survey the land, revealing vast hidden structures beneath the surface. From magnetometry to ground-penetrating radar, billions of data points begin to map out walls, roads and buildings lost for centuries. 

But as the digital picture emerges, a new question arises -- how do you interpret a Roman fort you can’t yet see?

In this episode Helen Geake and Martyn Williams take you behind the scenes of the filming of a brand new Time Team programme. John and his team fire up their magnetrometry and GPR equipment to discover so much more about this amazing site. You'll hear conversations with John Gater, Jimmy Adcock, Stewart Ainsworth and Francis Pryor. Plus, Martyn gets a ride in the geophysics buggy to see how it all happens.

John's answering questions about geophysics from Time Team members on the podcast too.
