The story of the Knights Hospitaller in Leicestershire.
On the edge of Leicester, in Castle Hill Country Park in Beaumont Leys, is a large enigmatic rectangular earthwork.
Speculation about its use has suggested that it was an Iron Age hillfort, whilst more recent excavations have revealed that it was a medieval manorial site linked with the Catholic military order, the Knights Hospitaller.
As seen on Digging For Britain, join archaeologist Mathew Morris from University of Leicester Archaeological Services to find out more about the intriguing history of this site, and more broadly the story of the Knights Hospitaller in Leicestershire.
