Archeologists Uncover The Mystery Behind A 1500-Year-Old Monastery

In this episode of Digging for Britain, Alice Roberts and a team of archeologists investigate Iona Abbey, a monastery in a remote part of Scotland which, according to legend, became an important pilgrimage site drawing Christians from all across Europe, but archeologists were yet to discover any concrete evidence of this, until now.
