Christopher Rees, a 39-year-old man from Bridgend, during a walk with his seven-year-old son, Dylan stumbled upon something far more unexpected - part of a bone sticking out of the sand

The 7-year-old initially thought the bones were a dinosaur, and the family decided to carry some of it back to the car to take home

Once Dylan got home and showed off his discoveries to his mother, she soon became suspicious

Christopher soon called the police and explained everything to them

South Wales Police searched the area for a few days and after a few days later, officers confirmed that what Christopher and Dylan had discovered was ancient remains

Earlier, centuries-old human remains were found at the same beach after an ancient wall collapsed.

After bones analysis, it was found that they could be from shipwreck victims in the 16th, 17th and possibly 18th centuries.

In 2019, skeletal remains of at least six individuals, believed to be shipwreck victims, were found there.

Furthermore, archaeologists unearthed two human leg bones on a Cwm Nash cliff in 2014
