The article doesn't say how they know it's medieval.

I looks more recent. Especially the long beams on the roof. Like a sewer.

I guess an aqueduct makes the most sense.

There's a site of ancient iron works up the valley. It may be related to that, taking excess water away or something.

Yes, it looked like a culvert, I thought the mention of a nearby parallel water stream was trying to intimate a relationship. Perhaps someone built a culvert but it got blocked and the stream diverted away?
