Archaeologists in the U.K. are confident that they have uncovered the remains of a lost Anglo-Saxon-era monastery. Wessex Archaeology recently reported that two semi-circular stone structures were found beneath Bath Abbey. “Both structures had plaster on their internal walls and appeared to be the east ends of separate buildings,” Wessex Archaeology explained in a statement. Cai Mason, senior project officer at Wessex Archaeology, notes that Anglo-Saxon stone buildings are rare and up to this point, unknown in Bath. The ancient kings Offa of Mercia and Alfred of Wessex may have built the monastery, according to Wessex Archaeology, which notes that the two recently discovered structures were likely built at different times.
