"Annus 3500"
5500 year old preserved woodland

Taken earlier today, mainly for content interest. The Oak stump in the lower right has been preserved in peat beneath the sea and now emerges as part of a submerged forest off the coast at Ynyslas.

Radio Isotope dating ages it to 3500 BC, that's older than both Stonehenge and the ancient Eygptian Pyramids!

I've included the GPS location for anyone who is interested in visiting the submerged forest. You can see further stumps out across the beach.
