What's Really Buried Beneath the Tower of London?

In spring 2025, workmen preparing to install a disabled-access lift at the Tower of London broke through the chapel floor and into a medieval mass grave. The discovery triggered the most significant archaeological dig at the fortress in over thirty years, reaching down through nearly a thousand years of layered history. This documentary follows the full chronological story of what lies beneath the Tower, from Roman bastion to Norman conquest, from Black Death burial pit to Tudor execution ground, from medieval lion skulls to twentieth-century firing squads, and asks what this ancient site is still giving up to those who dig.
