Why do castles get lost? How do you find one? What constitutes a castle anyway? And could you be the next person to discover one?
Rachel Swallow has been on a mission to find Britain’s missing medieval castles, with great success. As well as finding lost ones, she’s also been making new discoveries about some of the UK’s most famous castles.
Historian, researcher, guest expert on the Great British Dig, and honorary fellow at Liverpool and Chester Universities, Rachel has some extraordinary new findings to share. Not to mention she has her own archaeology business, Swallowtail Archaeology!
Meanwhile, DigVentures has been investigating a medieval moated site at Soulton Hall, near Wem, on the English-Welsh border. What is it? And can Rachel help us find out?
