I can't say I have heard of it and have looked at the Times on line and can't see anything. I will be see the evening with the National Park archaeologist this evening so will see if he knows anything and will pass it on.

Peace , Lubin

Leafing quickly through a borrowed copy of the Times this morning I came across a very brief article describing a "submerged village and stone circle". Apparently it was discovered during a dry spell but after heavy rain has been covered by water again.
Sorry about the lack of details but it was a speed read. Is this old news? (Or new?)
Jim.

This is what I found this morning in 'The Metro' but could'nt find any other news, sounds interesting but could'nt find the location; though Fernworthy is near a reservoir.....

The settlement and circle are below Tottiford Reservoir near to Lustleigh on the east of the moor. There has been a feature about it tonight on BBC Spotlight which you may be able to find on iPlayer.
