A huge ancient fish trap has been found in an estuary after it was spotted in aerial photographs on Google Earth. The V-shaped trap was first discovered from aerial photographs at Poppit, Pembrokeshire.

Experts believe the 260m (853ft) man-made structure could be more than 1,000 years old.

They think it was designed to catch migratory fish, such as salmon and sea trout going up the River Teifi at Poppit in Pembrokeshire.

Research is being undertaken between Pembrokeshire College and the Dyfed Archaeological Trust to find out more.
