Outside of Winchester, in what is today known as Hospital Field, once stood the St. Mary Magdalen Leper Hospital. Possibly complicating the search for the hospital, the entire field was used as an army camp during WWI. Time Team turns this to their advantage, as the medieval well that served the lepers was reused, with a wind pump, by the army camp, making it easier for geophysics to find.
