  • One of Ireland's most sacred sites is where St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, set up his first church. On Cathedral Hill sits a magnificent church renovated from its medieval origins in the 18th century. the team look for the early monastic buildings where according to legend St. Patrick built a monastery and was buried. They are also digging up medieval finds, including roof tiles and glass, which indicate a high-status building. They soon identify the large double ditch which originally enclosed the monastery complex. A fascinating trip for the team as they traveled to Downpatrick in Northern Ireland to excavate one of Britain's most important religious sites.

    On seeing this episode again after some years i can't help but think how Mick and Stewart would have loved to have drones to help them figure out the 'Lumps and Bumps' on a particular site. Instead of peering out the window of a helicopter, i can see them pouring over drone shots in the incident room.

    Saint Patrick was from Wales. He was a Welshman who, departing from Porth Mawr (whitesands, Pembrokeshire), arrived in Ireland because an angel had told him that the land of Dyfed had already been reserved for a man who had not yet even been born, Saint David (Dewi Sant), the Patrion Saint of Wales, as the story goes.

      Tara was a pagan site. the story, however, tells how Patrick came to Tara to face the High King and obtain his permission to christianise Irelan The High King was named Laoghaire (roughly pronounced Leerah). Atop the Hill of Tara there are extensive earth works. It is a very ancient site.

      Quite the contrary. In Ireland as in most of Europe, evangelism was one guy with a few local friends, desperately trying to interest the rest of the country.
      The big difference was that Ireland had no martyrs, possibly because the hospitality traditions and permitted talking out of disputes traditions were so strong.

      It was the PAGAN Roman legion

    The Round Towers ... what that you guys say...they were Bell Towers ? ?
    Nope never were they Bell Towers ! The Round Towers were there #1 first ..before the earlier structure of a Church , which was torn down and replaced with what stands today.
    These Round Towers were ancient...from ancient people..who had knowledge unsurpassed .
    The early Christians were mesmerised but these Towers ( which never had a cap originally),
    yet another Tower that was causing huge trouble for the Christians. The church was on the HUNT to locate them all within Ireland. Only a few still stand today in 2023. ( in original condition )... amazingly they do. The church couldn't get their grimly hands on them !
    Cause they were ordered to be destroyed!! If ...if they couldn't get away with raising them to the ground, they were MODIFIED some capped, even windows- holes bashed into them.
    Explanation for some...ohh just old farm houses to store food and what not !
    What was highly likely to have been where this church is today hides what was deliberately covered up, the church wanted to gather or be privy to a Power they couldn't explain . Paris France 🇫🇷 Notre Dame yes... there was another one of these Ancient Towers . GONE Interesting indeed
