Archaeologists exploring the area near a hilltop castle in Switzerland found pieces of burned-down walls and charred framing — and discovered the ruins of a medieval cellar.
Within the cellar, experts found evidence of a weaving center and an array of metal objects indicating the existence of a forge. As they looked closer, the team spotted something else: a nearly fully preserved iron gauntlet.
The piece of armor is an exceptional discovery dating back about 700 years to the 14th century, according to a Jan. 16 news release from the Canton of Zürich.
