Re: Ancient footprints found on Welsh beach by coldrum on Monday, 05 February 2007

Prehistoric Footprints on Kenfig Beach

While out beach-combing with my friend John Blundell of Nottage, we discovered footprints deeply embedded in a peat bed exposed by sand loss on Kenfig Beach near Porthcawl.

These were investigated by archaeologists from the National Museum of Wales and Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust, who agreed they were prehistoric.

The peat beds are usually covered with about four feet of sand and were formed from the floor of the forest which once grew where the Bristol Channel is today. As the Channel formed approximately 8,000 years ago, they could be Neolithic-Mesolithic in origin.
