Following the brilliant Time Team episode on the project, Career in Ruins visit Cerne Abbas, Dorset, to catch up with archaeologist Hugh Willmott and his team. Beneath the watchful gaze of the famous Cerne Abbas Giant, Lawrence Shaw and Derek Pitman delve into the story behind the abbey’s excavation — tracing its journey from Anglo-Saxon origins, through the turmoil of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, to the remarkable discoveries now emerging from the trenches. Join us on site as we meet the students, volunteers, and craftspeople bringing this medieval site back to life. From Roman coins and decorated floor tiles to intricately carved masonry and a live smithing demonstration, the dig offers a vivid glimpse into the abbey’s past — and even teaches us how to forge a medieval knife from scrap metal found in the spoil heap.
