Medieval Settlement - Monomad Challenge

Hello lovely Hiveans !

Today I want to enter the #monomad challenge with some pictures from a medieval settlement from the 8th century - I like the look of historical sites in black and white, as it kind of underlines the historical feeling. Thus, I show it here in monochrome colours - I hope you like it ^^

The Settlement

I am a big fan of history, especially of live history and reenactment. Thus, I visit every historical place that comes along my way in live. Her I came along one very nice settlement in Poland that I like to show you. It was rebuild in the way it was originally build on the 8th century. It was located in a forest area and already the walk there was very nice ^^

The first picture shows some his that were build next to each other and were used for living. There were a total of 5 give his, all on one side of the settlement. Unfortunately they had no interior. I would have loved it, but was already super satisfied with the settlement itself ;)

At the other side of the entrance, there was the little pigsty, fully surrounded by a fence, as the whole settlement was too. The settlement was rather small and have place to maybe 20+ people. I assume there was place for enough of the too feed them all.

On the opposite side of the settlement there was a horse stage and a kitchen area for the settlers. It has a really cool and big stone oven and some wood was stapled. As the pigsty, the kitchen was used by all settlers together.

There was another building there, but I was not able to figure out what is purpose should be. It was similar in size as the others, but featured a open wall free outside area. That was completely roofed. I guess it was kind of a smithery or other manufacturing side.
