A submerged prehistoric forest, discovered 200 metres off the Norfolk Coast, is about 10,000 years old, according to geologists.
Discovered by divers, the forest is part of a prehistoric Doggerland which once spread all the way to Germany.
The forest was discovered by volunteer Sea Search diver Dawn Watson, who came across “an enormous wave of black stuff”.
It was only later she realised it was the remains of a forest of “probably oak trees” that had been knocked flat.
Doggerland was home to hunter gatherers and would have consisted of a landscape of salt marshes, spits, hills and estuaries.
