Abstract
A CONSIDERABLE area of “submerged forest” has recently been laid bare at Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire, owing to extensive shifting of sand and shingle by a gale in conjunction with an unusually high spring tide, and has been examined by Lieut.Colonel F. Lambton. Stumps of trees rooted in place are frequent, embedded in a foot or so of peat covering an old land-surface. No implements appear to have been found, but there is little doubt that the deposit is of the same age, viz. Neolithic, as the similar formation found elsewhere along our coasts.
