At the end of 2019, British archaeologists discovered a 14th century cesspool that served numerous different purposes over the course of its long existence. However, some odd findings inside the pit have raised questions among researchers.
A team from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) has found a medieval tile depicting a strange, even “mythical” creature “with a human head at one end and a leaf-like tail at the other”, senior archaeologist Antonietta Lerz told Live Science.
The tile, which reportedly dates back to 1350-1390, was part of a four-tile panel that could have been made in the village of Penn in the Buckinghamshire district.
