Am I right in thinking there's a hole in the Kendrick's Cave Horse Jaw? The angle of the photo is different and I'm not well versed in the shape of horse jaws, but your hole is at the hinge end isn't it?
Weirdly none of the BM's notes on the Kendrick's Cave jaw say 'has hole in it' but it looks like a hole to me...

On further examination this replica copy is giving me a different angle, looks like the hole is further forward: http://www.llandudnomuseum.co.uk/English/prehistoric_room.html - could just be the nostril hole for all I know.
Have you seen there's a cattle mandible in kent with a similar hole? http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/02/02/01/10/53.htm
... this is probably stuff you've already seen, don't mind me, I just got over-excited...
