NEW photos suggest TV anthropologist Alice Roberts is investigating the many mysteries of Glastonbury.

The academic and broadcaster posted a series of photographs on social media of herself at the Tor and King Arthur’s Tomb, at Glastonbury Abbey – hinting she was at the sites as part of a new series.

“I’ve had a wonderful day at Glastonbury – cooking up a new series that is as shrouded in mystery as the Tor – with fantastic archaeologists including Miles Russell,” she said. “And that’s all I can tell you for now.”

Roberts is known for her expertise in shows including Time Team, Origins of Us and Digging for Britain.

It appears she could now be turning her attention to the legend of King Arthur and Glastonbury.
