An ancient skull discovered by an oysterman dredging the sea bed is thought to be around 3,000 years old.
Ross Wey, 58, found the artefact off the coast of Mersea Island, Essex, and it is believed to be from the Bronze Age.
The oysterman, who has been dredging for the molluscs for five years, said the lump on the back of the skull hinted at its age.
