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?

1472 to 1645 would be “Renaissance”, not “Medieval”.
Of course, the remote location could have made life there “seem” Medieval.
