The footprints have been found in an area of exposed peat, along with holes which could have supported a causeway across ancient salt marshes
Human and animal fossilised footprints that may be from the Bronze Age have been exposed on a Ceredigion beach.
Archaeologists are racing against changing tides to record and excavate the find in peat at Borth, which gives a snapshot of a time when the shore lay further west.
