Submerged forest in Isle of Benbecula

Peat shelf exposed over a large area in the intertidal zone. There is a cluster of cultural material (bone and struck quartz) at 77275, 849695, and an area of submerged forest including brushwood fragments, twigs and small branches at 77175, 849667.

Lower down the beach closer to the low water mark, there is a more substantial area including collapsed trunks and root systems (area of smaller trees roughly centred on 77360, 849526, an area of larger trees further down the beach still around 77361, 849437) . Rare survival of such a diverse and extensive area of preserved wood remains, and plant macrofossils (reed and reed roots) in association with archaeological material.
