Hidden away on the Mount Stewart estate in County Down is a piece of history - that only now is coming to light.
It is a Norman-era motte-and-bailey castle, built about 800 years ago.
Since the National Trust obtained the land three years ago, this is the first chance it has had to clear the site of the trees which have hidden it, on and off, for centuries.
The archaeologists are delighted.
