Firstly, the footprints have been verified as human and the site contains tracks of adults and at least one child.
Secondly, I too was dismayed to be apparently discredited with the discovery, but I now know this arose from a genuine misunderstanding of an archaeologist's report. The council has apologised for this error and has informed me that they are considering displaying a cast of the footprints locally, hopefully in the new visitor centre at Kenfig National Nature Reserve nearby.
We eagerly await the results of Dr Gonzalez's team's carbon-dating of the peat bed, which will give some indication of the age of the footprints.
Dr Edith Evans of Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust has revisited the site and investigated the upper of the two peat beds exposed at Kenfig. Her report 2007/013 will soon be online at http://www.ggat.org.uk and makes fascinating reading.
