Observation on the recent examination of bones from St David's Cathedral

Bones discovered in 1866 walled up in St David's Cathedral, West Wales were thought possibly to be those of St David and his companion St Justinian, b oth of whom died in the late Gth or early 7th century. Examination and radi o carbon dating of the bones suggested that these were not from St David no r St Justinian. Some of the bones could be the remains of St Caradoc, a 12t h century hermit. It is likely, however, that the bones are remains of cler gy who, for reasons not yet understood, were re-interred into the wall.
