Now, police can confirm the remains are human and that they are "keeping an open mind" about how the bones ended up in the home.
There are not thought to be suspicious circumstances behind the remains and enquiries so far have led officers to believe the bones belong to a "historical burial site" on the grounds of the terraced house.
Police had swooped in on the site on Friday afternoon before launching an investigation into the origin of the remains.
In a statement today, a Lancashire Police spokesperson said: "We received a report that builders completing work on a property in Cleveland Road, Lytham had found what appeared to be bones, at 12.37pm on Friday, August 15.
"Work is ongoing to identify the remains, which have been confirmed to be human.
"However, our enquiries so far have led us to understand that this is thought to be a historical burial site, isolated to the property.
"Whilst we are keeping an open mind, there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.
"If you do have any information that could assist our ongoing enquiries, please contact 101 quoting log 0616 of August 15."

Influencer 'caught by stray bullet' dies in front of her child in road rage incident
Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, 27, was hit by a stray bullet while sitting beside her four-year-old son when two drivers clashed at a red light - causing one of them to allegedly open fire and hit her An influencer was tragically was gunned down in front of her toddler and partner after being caught in a road rage shootout. Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, a social media star who had more than 144,000 followers on Instagram, was hit by a stray bullet while sitting beside her four-year-old son during the chaos in Glendale, Arizona on Friday. Police say the violence erupted in a clash between two drivers at a red light, during which Jesus Preciado Dousten, 33, allegedly opened fire. He has since been arrested on multiple charges, including second-degree murder, AZFamily reports. According to police, Dousten pulled out a handgun and fired toward another driver. The round pierced Hermosillo's vehicle through the passenger window, striking her in the head as her partner drove up alongside the truck - completely unaware of the danger. The mum was rushed to hospital but sadly could not be saved. "My question still is, why would you just randomly shoot the other way? He obviously didn't know the other car was there," Glendale Police Sergeant Brian Hoskins told the outlet. "That's the thing, as gun owners, you have to know where you're shooting, what you're pointing at. You know, those are the responsibilities of being a responsible gun owner. You can't just fire rounds randomly throughout. Specifically, a high, highly populated city." Dousten was identified as the pickup's owner and later arrested after police found two handguns in his apartment. Hermosillo, who also shared content on Facebook and TikTok, had built an audience of more than 300,000 with her cooking and lifestyle videos. Her devastated family has launched a GoFundMe to cover funeral costs, remembering her as "a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her." The tribute added: "She leaves behind her husband and their 4-year-old son, who now face an unimaginable loss. Yarely's greatest joy in life was being a mother, and she poured her heart into caring for her little boy. She was an innocent victim caught in the middle of a road rage incident between others, leaving her family and friends devastated."

Yarely Ashley Hermosillo dead: Influencer murdered in front of young son
Social media influencer Yarely Ashley Hermosillo has been brutally murdered in front of her young child, four, after being caught in a road rage crossfire incident A social media influencer has been shot dead in front of her four-year-old son. Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, 27, had been in her car with her young son when a stray bullet struck and killed her. Two drivers had been fighting at a red light in a road rage incident. According to local police, one of the drivers, Jesus Preciado Dousten, 33, had been waiting in the centre lane when the driver he was arguing with was stopped in the right lane. Yarely had over 300,000 followers across her social media pages, including Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. The stay-at-home mum from the US had racked up a huge following due to her cooking content, as well as offering parental advice. Now, her family have spoken out in a tear-jerking tribute. In a statement, they said: "Yarely was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her. She leaves behind her husband and their 4-year-old son, who now face an unimaginable loss. "Yarely's greatest joy in life was being a mother, and she poured her heart into caring for her little boy. She was an innocent victim caught in the middle of a road rage incident between others, leaving her family and friends devastated." She had been hit in the head by a bullet which had been fired from a handgun. Despite being rushed to a hospital in Arizona, she sadly died after arrival. Yarely had been sitting in the passenger seat of a car when it was brought to a stop at a red light in Glendale. Two cars had pulled up beside the vehicle in separate lanes, and both drivers were aggressive to one another as they were also brought to a stop. Dousten is alleged to have pulled out the weapon, pointed it at his own driver's window, before firing a single shot. That shot went through the passenger window of the car before striking Yarely in the head. Yarely's mum and her four-year-old son had been sitting in the back seat when she was gunned down. Glendale Police Sergeant Brian Hoskins told AZ Family: "My question still is, why would you just randomly shoot the other way? "He obviously didn't know the other car was there." Police had used surveillance footage in order to identify Dousten as the driver who fired the gun and were able to locate him before arresting him and searching the home he visited after the shooting. During the raid, police recovered two handguns. He was charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, misconduct involving weapons and endangerment. Since her death, Yarely's family have launched a GoFundMe in order to cover her funeral and at the time of publication, has raised just shy of $12,000 (£8,894). The fundraiser reads: "At just 27 years old, Yarely's life was taken far too soon in a senseless act of violence. She was an innocent victim caught in the middle of a road rage incident between others, leaving her family and friends devastated." They add: "As our family grieves this heartbreaking tragedy, we are asking for support to help ease the financial burden her husband now faces—covering funeral expenses, as well as providing for their young son during this difficult time. No amount can ever replace Yarely's presence, but your kindness and generosity will help bring comfort and stability to her family as they navigate life without her. "We are forever grateful for every prayer, share, and donation made in Yarely's honour. Thank you for helping us celebrate her life, carry on her memory, and surround her husband, son, siblings and mother with love during this devastating time. May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory live on through the love she gave so freely."
