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.

New Discoveries at Prague Castle

Ongoing excavation at Prague Castle has led to the discovery of more evidence about the early state of the castle's defenses. Archaeologists working in an area between the castle's second and third courtyards have uncovered part of the castle's original moat and a tenth or eleventh century rampart; these new finds complement what was previously known about the castle's early fortifications.
