Harold's Field in Portskewett, Monmouthshire, has long been rumoured (and referenced in The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles) as a site where Harold Godwinson, later to become King Harold, built a hunting lodge in 1065 after defeating the Welsh.
Before that, this same hill may have been the location of a Welsh royal palace reported as having been built in the 6th century. As if that isn't enough, pottery finds nearby suggest the hill may also have been utilised in Roman times too.
The Time Team have three days to unearth the secrets of Harold's Field.
