It has been a seat of power for thousands of years and has long held the attention of archaeologists. The team are in Bamburgh to help the Bamburgh Research Project, which for the past decade and a half has been excavating 1,000 years of history to uncover the Saxon roots of this fortress.
Bamburgh was once home to the 'Bernician Kings', Anglo-Saxon overlords who ruled large parts of Britain. Could there be a unique stone room beneath the manicured lawns of today's castle?
As the team hears stories of brutal death and financial wealth, and examines finds of gold jewelry and stone thrones, Phil and the diggers get closer to a tantalizing discovery.
