Not a gralloch site, or at least unlikely. The gralloch is normally done on the hill and traditionally only involves the removal of the green offal. Removal of the pluck (lungs, liver and kidneys) is normally done at some kind of larder.

This looks like a dumping ground for larder waste, all the heads and legs, and also some butchery waste (rib bones etc.)

Having said that, I've only seen one site like that before, and it was where the land owner used to drop off the odd carcass to entice the White Tailed Sea Eagles in. There was a camera set up to record them feeding. The birds remove the meat, and the pine martens and other small/medium mammals finish off what the eagles leave.

On closer inspection I'm going for a waste tip. I can't see any evidence of spinal bones or pelvises, only the leg bones, skulls and those few ribs. Could be that a few deer have been butchered, perhaps ones too damaged to go to the game dealer, hence the ribs.

Of course I could be totally wrong on all counts!

Hi SS,

Don't suppose any of those leg bones have a wall thickness of 12mm or more?

Wow - that is a fair few bones!
I would be interested in a few nice long straight leg bones if that is OK :)
Let me know when you are ready and I will send you up some P&P
Many thanks for this :D
