Last Interglacial (LIG) highstand coral reefs record meter-scale sea-level jumps.
We test for such jumps in nearfield, temperate coastal settings of Northwest Europe.
There is no coherent, regional-scale evidence for large sea-level jumps.
There is no strong evidence for LIG ice sheet collapse/regrowth during the highstand.
Caution is needed when inferring ice sheet collapse from LIG highstand sea-level data.
