Bridgewater Times: Fish traps, dating from the 10th century C.E., have been discovered in England's Bridgwater Bay.
Bridgwater Bay in Somerset County, England, has long been a center for fishing
in the country. Now, it seems, the Saxons were well acquainted with the Bay and
set their own fish traps there, as discovered recently by archaeologists who
found traps dating to the 10th century. Many of the traps are from wood not
native to England. English Heritage will foot the bill for radiocarbon and
tree-ring dating to more about the Saxon traps.
