I think this is about the same area and time that what is believed to have been the largest earthquake ever occurred.
Weight redistribution from the Ice Age melt probably caused both.

Crustal rebound. The same thing will save us when Antarctica and Greenland lose their icecaps.

Study Sees North Sea Tsunami Risk
It was a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. An earthquake shook Norway's coast between Bergen and Trondheim about 8,150 years ago. The tremors ripped pieces of land the size of Iceland from shallow water and sent them crashing into the deep sea. Like a stone thrown into a pond, the landslide produced ripples of waves that spread at the speed of a train -- powerful tsunamis racing across the North Sea. Along the beaches of Scotland the waves were up to six meters (20 feet) high. Geologists have discovered a ravaged Stone-Age site there.

"Where did the earthquake occur?" See post #8. I think that may be it. Apparently the land is still 'rippled' in Norway from the quake I mentioned.

Along the beaches of Scotland the waves were up to six meters (20 feet) high. Geologists have discovered a ravaged Stone-Age site there. Shouldn't evidence of that tsunami still be present in modern England and Scotland?
Has erosion altered the landscape that much in 8100 years to erase all evidence of deposits?

"Shouldn't evidence of that tsunami still be present in modern England and Scotland?" I've read that there is still evidence...I just can't find where I read it.

Although we are in serious danger of hijacking this thread, I'll only say that I am having memories of that parody song:
Round, round, big and round
she's big and round

Redd Foxx once said that his 300 lb. wife thought he loved her, 'cause every time she got into bed, he rolled toward her.
It was a joke.
