Work on part of a Vale of Glamorgan housing development has been suspended after human 'cremation pits' were uncovered during surveys.
It is understood skeletal remains were found at the St Athan site.
Vale of Glamorgan council confirmed "a number of cremation plots" had been indentified at the Tathana Court development.
House builder Barratt Developments said building work had been "paused" until archaeological investigations end.
"In areas where discoveries are made, building work is paused until we are advised by our archaeological team that it is safe to continue," said an official for the developers.
"Work is continuing as normal across the rest of the site."
