A buried land surface containing archaeological finds of Neolithic date. The surface undulates, outcropping in patches between Jaywick and Dovercourt, and was first recorded by S. Hazzledine Warren during the first half of the 20th century. It was named after the Cornish tradition of a land submerged beneath the sea. (Wilkinson, T.J. and Murphy, P.L. 1995.
