Exactly! Almost all of what we know today as Great Britain is covered by an ice sheet during a glacial age. And what would have been fertile lowlands is under water. That makes it pretty tough to find the really old sites.

Exactly.

I've read that the northern part is still rebounding/rising while the southern part is subsiding...kinda like a see-saw after the weight of the ice was removed.
