So after Shakespeare and the Kings James Bible era and countless written sources we need to unearth a few coins and trinkets to tell us about life there??? Next they’ll be digging around Liverpool to tell us about the Beatles.

Medieval? The medieval period began around 476 AD and ended around 1450-1492 AD. This hamlet is a little old to be labeled medieval. What ARE they teaching inschools nowadays?

Two pottery sherds from stoneware bottles

Sherd = shard. I had to look that one up.

1472 to 1645 would be “Renaissance”, not “Medieval”.

Of course, the remote location could have made life there “seem” Medieval.

JMO...I am not an Archaeologist. Just a Humble Bass Player...what do I know?

***“The radiocarbon dates confirm activity in the period from 1472 to 1645. **

Ending in the Plague years.
