Roman-related:
While the Roman era was pre-medieval, there were some tweets pointing to interesting Roman-related issues.
Early Roman site found in Gloucestershire
Roman Era gold coin found in India. Head of Nero.
Isn’t it amazing how far afield Romans (and/or their money) went?
Roman burial ground found on land in Maryport

Medieval and Christianity:
The Pagn Influence on Christian Art in Ireland is from the Journal for Undergraduate Research. It’s well written and has nice illustrations. Going to send it on to a friend who is taking students to Europe next summer on Christian art study.
It was tweeted from medievalists.net, but the original site had all the pretty pictures, so I just linked to it.
Wisdom Literature in Early Ireland, this is the original paper. The Medievalists.net publication of the same information.
Matters of Time: Manipulation of Memory in Early Irish Hagiography from Medievalists.net. At the original site, in a PDF without the pretty picture Medievalists.net added.
Questionable Content:
1066 in an Hour, available at the app store.
However, I have a question. If it’s an hour, why does it say 21.37 for time?
The whole History in an Hour website. They have iPad apps.
Regarding 1066 in an hour, the 21.37 is just a time stamp as this image is supposed to represent what it looks like on a real i-phone. It is in no way related to content or how long it will take you to read it.
