But now it has emerged the skull was taken from a Site of Specific Scientific Interest — at St Nectan's Glen in Tintagel.
Anyone removing items from an SSSI can be fined or imprisoned.
Zooarchaeologists from Historic England last night said the skull belonged to a horse — but it had a cow's horn attached.
It said: 'It does look very well made.'
John traded it for beer at a pub and is now on holiday in Greece before flying home.
A barman at the Stonehenge Inn, Wilts, is looking after the skull.
The manager said: 'He took it home, it was freaking me out here.
'I'm sure he'll happily to return it."

The Repair Shop viewers demand BBC show is axed after ex-host Jay Blades' rape arrest
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Repair Shop viewers have demanded the BBC show be axed - after ex-host Jay Blades' rape arrest. The Sun reported Blades, 55, has been charged with two counts of rape. 3 The Repair Shop fans have called for the show to be axed - following Jay Blades' rape arrest Credit: BBC 3 The 55-year-old has been charged with two counts of rape Credit: BBC 3 He was the show's "foreman" from 2017 until 2014 Credit: BBC On Tuesday (August 5), the show returned to its usual 8pm slot, although Blades was not featured. Writing online, fans have called for The Repair Shop to be axed after nearly a decade on air. One penned: "Could never see the point of him being in the Repair Shop he never restored anything but worn a new leather apron the show is better without him now." Another added: "Surely you must take the Repair shop off now if the presenter is accused of physical rape." A third queried: "Will the BBC be pulling repeats of The Repair Shop now?" Police confirmed the allegations against the dad of three from Shropshire. He fronted the hit BBC show for seven years before stepping back last year. King Charles appeared alongside him on a special episode in 2022. West Mercia Police confirmed charges against the dad of three, with a magistrates' court date set for next Wednesday. A spokesperson said: 'Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. Axed TV host Jay Blades was weeks away from starring on new reality series before domestic violence arrest "He is due to appear at Telford magistrates' court on 13 August 2025.' The TV star is currently awaiting trial on a separate charge of controlling and coercive behaviour against estranged wife Lisa-Marie Zbozen, which he has denied. He was arrested in May 2024 - on the same day fitness instructor Lisa announced her decision to end their 18-month marriage. In September, Blades was charged. His actions allegedly caused Lisa 'to fear, on at least two occasions, that violence will be used against her'. The presenter pleaded not guilty to the charge — which relates to the period between January 1, 2023 and September 12, 2024 — at a court hearing last October. As well as fronting The Repair Shop since 2017, Blades also hosted BBC shows including Money For Nothing and Jay Blades' Home Fix.

Prince Harry criticised over row that risks damaging his charity's reputation
Read on to find out Harry's respose to the report HARRY CHARITY ROW Prince Harry criticised over row that risks damaging his charity's reputation Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE Harry was blasted last night for letting a boardroom battle damage his charity Sentebale. A watchdog said the public row risked undermining trust in good causes generally. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A source close to Harry blasted the report and said the prince was 'devastated the chair had been allowed to succeed with a hostile takeover' Credit: PA The Charity Commission said chances were missed to settle differences at Sentebale, set up by Harry and Lesotho's Prince Seeiso in 2006 for young people and kids living with HIV and Aids. It launched a probe when they stood down as patrons in support of trustees who quit in a dispute with Dr Sophie Chandauka over a fundraising strategy. Board of trustees chair Dr Chandauka said the 'toxicity' of Harry's brand since his move to live in the US had seen a drop in donors. She accused the Duke of Sussex, 40, of involvement in a 'cover-up' of a probe into bullying and harassment. Last night, she said the 'adverse media campaign' launched by those who resigned 'caused incalculable damage' to the charity. The Times reported a source close to Harry blasted the report and said the prince was 'devastated the chair had been allowed to succeed with a hostile takeover'. His spokesman said those who rely on Sentebale would bear the 'consequences of her actions'. The Charity Commission said the public airing of the row harmed Sentebale's reputation and risked overshadowing its achievements. The regulator, which cannot investigate individual allegations of bullying, found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment, including misogyny or misogynoir at the charity but acknowledged 'the strong perception of ill treatment' felt by some involved. David Holdsworth, chief executive of the Charity Commission, said: 'Passion for a cause is the bedrock of volunteering and charity, delivering positive impact for millions of people here at home and abroad every day. Harry QUITTING his own charity is utterly humiliating - misogyny row will hurt him deeply 'However, in the rare cases when things go wrong, it is often because that very passion has become a weakness rather than a strength. 'Sentebale's problems played out in the public eye, enabling a damaging dispute to harm the charity's reputation, risk overshadowing its many achievements, and jeopardising the charity's ability to deliver for the very beneficiaries it was created to serve.'

AN ASYLUM seeker will face trial over the alleged rape and sexual abuse of an eight-year-old girl, The Sun can reveal. Kamran Khan, 43, is alleged to have orally raped the primary school pupil twice between April and July this year. 2 He is further charged with forcing the child to watch sexual activity on multiple occasions and making her perform a sex act on him. The migrant, originally from Pakistan, lived in Lambeth, South London, at the time of the alleged offences between September 2024 and last month. Court records show Mr Khan was remanded in custody last month. He pleaded not guilty at a short hearing at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday. Khan, who spoke through an Urdu interpreter, wore a prison-issue grey t-shirt in the dock. He placed his hand on his head and stroked his beard as he entered his pleas. Judge Benedict Kelleher fixed a seven-day trial for January 5 next year.
