Google Earth reveals fish trap made from rocks 1,000 years ago off British coast

[M]odern technology has revealed this ancient fish trap, used at the time of the Norman Conquest.

They didn’t actually find it on Google Earth, but the image was there

Although it was only recently spotted on aerial photographs, an armchair archaeologist could have discovered the trap on Google Earth.

Google said the V-shaped structure has been visible on its collection of satellite and aerial photos since at least December 2006.

Sure enough, if you point Google Earth to the right spot, you can see it. Use these coordinates:
N 52° 06.550 W 004° 42.450

Works in Google Maps, too
