Time Team Special 5 (2000) - The Mystery of Mine Howe (Mine Howe, Orkney)
In September 1999, a local farmer rediscovered a remarkable underground structure - a flight of 17 stone steps descending to a half-landing and a further 11 steps descending to a chamber - which had been almost consigned to the annals of local folklore. The Team travels to Orkney, where local farmer Douglas Paterson went, in search of the mysterious underground chamber, said to be lost on his land after its discovery some 50 years earlier. Time Team film the excavation of the site for this years Christmas documentary.
