The Continent was almost cut off from Britain already by 8500 BC.
Doggerland would hang on for a while yet before being ultimately inundated.
The sea level rises would have been noticed by the people living on the coasts. Former and ancestral camp sites and foraging grounds on the coasts would be gone. I wonder how weird they found it or if they just took it in their stride.

POV: It is 1100 A.D. on an Indonesian island. You are a Bajau sea nomad who freedives for seafood. Your spleen is 15% larger than other locals due to a mutation in PDE10A gene. You can store more haemoglobin rich blood, letting you breathhold & dive longer. Local girls notice how much better you are at diving and hunting fish. You are about to experience natural selection
