Tiny bones, thought to have been those of a child, were unearthed yesterday while contractors were busy digging a foundation for a house in the Limit Hill area.

The owner of the house immediately contacted police and Public Safety.

A search for more bones, which was set to continue in Limit Hill today, has been called off after forensic experts determined that the bones were, in fact, those of an animal.
