Hi Lena, I had one with small scurs/buds from an Iron Age site at
Winchester - I also have a modern cow with loose scurs, the horns look
'normal' but inside the horn core is in 2 separate parts, very
interesting! I can send pics if you would like.

Arjan Hullegie's article discusses Roman finds from the Netherlands, but I wonder if anyone has observed scurs on Roman cattle from British sites? Or, for that matter, hornless/polled cattle?
