Lyonesse, a kingdom that lay between Land's End and St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, is another realm submerged beneath the waves in the blink of an eye. At certain tides, the muffled chiming of bells can still be heard, while it was reported for centuries that fishermen would sometimes snag roof tiles in their nets.

Has evidence ever been found that Lyoness ever existed? Far as I know, it is a folk legend based on the real disappearance of ancient Dunwich, which also mentions the muffled chiming of bells.
