Quentovic, Archaeological site near Montreuil-sur-Mer, France
The excavation site spans several hectares at the mouth of the Canche River, containing remnants of an early medieval port complex.
Archaeological surveys from 1984 to 1985 by Manchester and Sheffield Universities identified the exact location of this major Frankish trading port.
The port facilitated extensive trade between continental Europe and Britain, with evidence of pottery production, textile manufacturing, and metalworking activities.
Artifacts discovered at the site, including coins, tools, and pottery fragments, are currently displayed in regional museums across northern France.
The location served as a primary crossing point for Anglo-Saxon monks traveling from England to Rome between the 7th and 11th centuries.
