This does not satisfy me. You may dismiss my Science as being naive, but I reasonably believe the sea level must have been higher during King Harolds time and the Norman Conquest. ie; 800AD/1100AD. Why do I believe this? Evidence produced by Time Team researchers when dating dig sites. Sites investigated by these researchers are often explained as having sea-access around the dates I have stated. Now they are miles inland. When They ( Time Team ), Diagrammictly( sic ), illustrate this by sketching sea inlets surrounding their dig Sites, it seems sound Science to me. Am I in Fact being a little naive here? My best estimate of the kind of sea level rises at this time, (1050AD), is about 180 cm above the present levels. To come up to these Dig Sites.....westwind.
