Resorting to godly rest, they shelter in caves (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

troglodytes

'they shelter in caves' is the definition.

'resorting to godly rest' is the wordplay.
'resorting' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'godly'+'rest'='togodlyrest'
'togodlyrest' anagrammed gives 'TROGLODYTES'.

(Another definition for troglodytes that I've seen is " Simple people".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
