The remains of a prehistoric ‘submerged forest’ are located at Newgale Sands, Pembrokeshire, towards the southern end of the beach, near Mildenhall Point. A c.5.5m section of tree was exposed in the autumn of 2021, surrounded by associated layers of peat and fragments of branches. Samples from the latter returned a date of c.4,000 BC, matching the general dates for other submerged forests around the coasts of Wales. NPRN544148, https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/544148
