A 15th-century cesspit found under Somerset House in London has been lovingly recreated as a 3D model that you can explore in your web browser. [via Londonist]

Archaeologists from MOLA also uncovered a number of interesting objects from the pit:

"These include a rare 14th century 'Penn' floor tile - a decorating material of choice for palaces and monastic sites - pottery drinking vessels and tableware dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as a range of metalwork artefacts including a finger ring, iron spur, belt buckle, bone-handled fork and pendant."

Cess not included. But there's lots of other historical architectural delights on Sketchfab.
