more like two pieces of stone were placed together, then an impression cut that spans part of the top pf both or more than one side. Then, molten metal is poured into the cast and a staple is made.

Metal staples were used in masonry as well to hold casing stones tight and in place.

I think the medieval period was the rebuilding of western civilization following the the fall of Rome in 476. With the typical idea of it being the so called "dark ages", it's a fair cop to think like that.
