Series 8 of Digging for Britain unearths some of the UK’s most stunning Anglo-Saxon and ancient finds. In Lincolnshire, a lavish 7th-century cemetery reveals warriors and women buried with gold, garnets, and amber, hinting at elite lives and far-reaching trade. The Cotswolds offers another high-status burial site, rich in mystery and rare artifacts. But the showstopper is the Harpole Treasure near Northampton—a spectacular grave of a noblewoman with a dazzling gold cross, hailed as one of Britain’s greatest early medieval discoveries. These finds bring the distant past thrillingly to life.
