    Ok, so I have been digging out my back garden to build the foundation for a shed. Only roughly a foot down I have comes across some bones! Don't know what they are from, am guessing previous owners pet, but some of them are big enough to make me curious!

    Can anyone tell me who should I contact to have a look at these bones?

    Is there a skull? Should give it away relatively quickly as to the nature of the bones. If you've any doubt/suspicions, contact your local Garda station.

    Ring your local Garda station. Explain what you have found and they will advise you from there.

    As the previous poster said if there's a skull it should be easy enough to tell. If you are still in doubt then you need to call the guards.

    No skull, I was hoping to keep digging and then maybe find a skull but no just a bundle of bones so far! Yes, thinking of ringing the guards, hate the thought of 'what if' and my home turns into an investigation! but it's the right thing to do I guess!!

    When you say a bundle, like if you put them all in a bag or just dumped them in a hole? got a picture?

    I have a good suspicion it is a pet form a previous owner of the property but you need to be certain

    What happened with the bones?

    I've found a few bones in my back garden in the past too. The road where my house is built used to be a graveyard in the late 17th/early 18th Century. It creeps me out every time I find bones out there - I never know if they're left over human bones from the graves or animal bones (land used to be farmland too). I put decking down and paving stones in the back garden so I don't accidentally find any more bones.
