Field Notes

Description:

Just dug this up in my back garden in Bath, Somerset.
I have no idea what it might be, and there are no other bones of any sort with it.
Any help with identification would be most welcome.
Thanks

Neat! Those teeth look like premolars, which means it's some kind of grazing herbivore. My best guess is this is the bottom jaw of a sheep or cow. Would be really cool to know how old this is!
