All six species of deer are found in the Peterborough area. I can't see positive evidence of one cleave being longer than the other (which, as John says, would indicate Muntjac) and the print does not look 'robust' enough for Red; Kepis has suggested Fallow so I assume that's rejected - Sika is pretty rare in that area, so I'm going to go with Roe![]()
So close…
Final clue (which I only found out retrosptively), we were not far from the village of Oundle and Ashton hall.
