The magnificent collection of medieval graveslabs and early Christian cross slabs on view in Kilmory Knap Chapel, in a remote corner of Argyll. The chapel was probably built in the early 1200s and some of the stones are rather older. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/crinan/kilmoryknapchapel/index.html

In this morning’s post: #Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society Magazine, no. 5 (winter 2022) - including an article on the 13th century #MortarWreck discovered in #StudlandBay #Dorset. The #clinker-built #ship was constructed from Irish timber (felled 1242-1262) and was carrying #Purbeck #GraveSlabs, building rubble, and mortars, as well as the what appears to be the crew’s cooking pots. #MaritimeHistory #Wrecks #MedievalShips #MaritimeTrade #DNHAS
