Extreme Archeology returns to the Shetland Islands, this time to investigate an iron age fortress known as Burgi Geos. Just getting to the site proves a nightmare as the crew crosses some of the deepest peat bogs in Europe to reach the remote site. As the team begins investigations it becomes more apparent that the site was far more than a simple fort. But why would an Iron Age community choose to settle somewhere so remote?
