All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells....
From The Bells

“layer of coal dated to around 1030-1180 AD”
Ohhhhh, now I think I understand. I was about to ask how can coal be formed in just a thousand years, but I now think this is some coal that was mined somewhere and then stored at this site. It was going to be used for heating a home.
