"An Early 20th C. Horse Skeleton from Whitby, North Yorkshire
Baker, P & Daulby, M
Number of: Pages 29 Figures 3
This report describes the skeleton of a large horse excavated in the area of
the formal gardens of the Banqueting House, located to the north of the
complex of houses known as Abbey House. These buildings lay to the south of
Whitby Abbey. The horse was found within a pit containing pottery of late
19th-early 20th
c. date. The horse appears to have been disarticulated to allow the whole of
the animal to fit into the pit. The skeleton is relatively complete and well
preserved. The animal stood c. 1.7m at the withers and was at least 12 years
of age at death. Extensive exostoses and marginal lipping was observed and
there is possible evidence for spondylosis deformans. "
