Biggar archaeologists to appear in Digging in Britain BBC documentary

Filming took place at the weekend at Daer where the group is excavating a series of prehistoric sites which have been revealed by forestry planting.

Group organiser Tam Ward said: “The site is over six thousand years old and has lain undisturbed until the forest plough exposed it.
