Harold's Field has long been rumored to be the site where Harold Godwinson, later King Harold, is said to have built a hunting lodge in 1065 after defeating the Welsh. The site is a listed monument, protected from excavations; but a local petition succeeded in persuading Cadw to allow the excavations. The Time Team was therefore invited to do its job. Although Stewart believes there are signs of medieval occupation, any finds from an earlier Saxon period would be a first for this area of Wales. The team is joined by historians Sam Newton and Jeremy Knight, local pottery expert Steve Clarke and maritime archaeologist Nigel Nayling.
