A bizarre medieval grave containing the remains of a porpoise is still baffling experts months after its discovery.

The grave was discovered in September 2017 on an islet off the west coast of the island of Guernsey in the English Channel. The islet, Chapelle Dom Hue, is believed to have been occupied by Benedictine monks in the medieval period.

Researchers have found a host of medieval pottery and prehistoric flint on the islet, but were stunned when they found the mysterious grave.
