Archaeologists from Channel 4 show Time Team have discovered 3,000-year-old homes and artefacts on the site of an Iron Age hillfort in Cardiff.
The show’s experts descended on the ancient site at Caerau Hill, off Church Road in Caerau, to film an episode of the hit series.
The team spent three days working at the site with presenter Tony Robinson saying they had found a “whole spaghetti bolognese” of ditches, circles, roundhouses and enclosures at the site.
He said investigators had found a 3,000-year-old saddlequern tool and pieces of an Iron Age pot which they were able to put back together and almost reconstitute.
“That’s very, very rare. We can put it together and make a tiny little pot that would have been created by hand,” said Robinson. It “may be the rarest example in South Wales” of such a discovery.
The dig at the Caerau site had been “incredibly successful,” he added.
The episode of Time Team is expected to be aired in 2013.
