Medieval Village Found?

Archaeology students in working in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales may have found evidence of the village of Whitelands, including a manor house and a mill, near the onetime natural harbor at Porthkerry. The village could have once been home to 60-70 residents, and likely lost its population as the harbor silted up in the 1300s.
