Dunraven Bay: Ancient bones could be thousands of years old

Human bones found after the collapse of an ancient wall "could be thousands of years old", a historian has said.

The remains emerged near Dunraven Bay, in Southerndown, Vale of Glamorgan, on 9 April and have been sent for carbon dating.

Graham Loveluck-Edwards said the soil in the area is a good at preserving bones for a long time.

The three most likely explanations, he said, are prehistoric cave burials, a massacre in the area during the 1st Century, or the remains of dead from shipwrecks along the coast from the 16th to 18th Centuries.
