Clues to a medieval farm linked to an abbey in North Yorkshire have been found.
The medieval farm site near Rievaulx Abbey was the focus of a team of archaeologists over six weeks
Jet rosary beads, pottery and glazed tiles were among some of the items pointing to the farm's "high status", a spokesperson added.Located four miles outside Helmsley, the farm site was known to be the location of a medieval grange built shortly after the Cistercian abbey at Rievaulx, which was founded in 1132.Despite this established history, the recently completed dig turned up some surprising archaeological finds, according to the North York Moors National Park Authority.
The community dig was led by archaeologist John Buglass, founder of North Yorkshire-based JB Archaeology, with close involvement from Keith Emerick, inspector of ancient monuments at Historic England.
