Elverton Street: the horse burial ground of Tothill Fields
R. Cowie
234 - 236
Excavations near Westminster found a cemetery for horses and dogs. Radiocarbon dating points to a late medieval date for the burials. Most of the horses were stockily built males, often of an advanced age with bone deformities suggesting the animals had been used for heavy work.
Bones
