Overview

Tony, joined by English Heritage's Ben Robinson and others, explores the world's first built prisoner of war camp.  Norman Cross is possibly the world's first purpose built POW camp. Although the site was closed in 1816, no archaeological work has ever been done. The Time Team have three days to discover and map the shape of the camp and uncover what life was like for POWs during the time.
