Roman Horse skeleton found at Cambridge construction site

The intact skeleton of a horse who died 2,000 years ago has been found at the construction site for a new biomedical campus at Cambridge University.

She added: “We find animal bones everywhere but finding a whole one intact is slightly more unusual but you do find them. A specific incident must have occurred in the past as to why it is there. Maybe it was ill or diseased, maybe it died or it had to be put down. We just don’t know at the moment.”
