Storm Hannah, which struck Wales and left a trail of devastation behind on April 27, also revealed the fossilized remains of a 4,500-year-old prehistoric forest that lay buried under sand and water.

The forest of Borth covered two to three miles on the Welsh shore of Cardigan Bay. It was buried under layers of peat, sand, and seawater around 4,000-6,000 years ago, according to The Daily Mail.
