Around 8,000 years ago, a vast stretch of land connected Britain to mainland Europe. This lost world, known as Doggerland, was a thriving Mesolithic landscape teeming with mammoth, deer, and human communities. But everything changed with a catastrophic event that submerged this Stone Age Eden beneath the rising waters of the North Sea.
In 1931, fishermen accidentally pulled prehistoric bones and tools from the seafloor, marking the first modern discovery of Doggerland. Since then, especially from the 1990s through 2019, archaeologists and scientists have used sonar scans, seabed sampling, and digital reconstructions to piece together what life was like in this ancient paradise — and how it vanished.

Sorry, at first glance I thought this was about LA: DodgerLand.

Looks like the Doggers got rained out. The Dodgers have had only 17 rainouts in 64 years in LA.

The most prominent English castle experiencing significant loss to the sea is Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, famous for King Arthur legends, where large parts of the island stronghold have fallen into the sea since medieval times due to constant coastal erosion. Another key example is Hurst Castle, a Tudor fort in Hampshire, where a section of its 19th-century wing collapsed into the ocean in 2021, leading to major preservation efforts.
The Brits are leaving things all over the place

I saw a Josh Gates “Expedition Unknown” whwere he was exploring megalithic structures like Stone Henge on England. North of the Orkney Islands there was what appeared to be a stone ring structure on the sea floor. This makes the it appear possible.

UK author John Christopher wrote The Ragged Edge (or A Wrinkle in the Skin, depending on US or UK purchase). It was about a massive earthquake in England that, essentially, lifted the English Channel and restored Doggerland. Book had an unfinished quality to it, but the concept has stuck in my head for years!
