A skull found in a duck pond in Lincolnshire is thought to have been there "for many years", police say.

Officers were called to the pond in Pear Tree Lane, Fulstow, on Thursday after a member of the public spotted the bone in the water.

Lincolnshire Police said the skull, believed to be human, is undergoing further forensic examination.

A cordon at the site has been lifted and analysis of the skull is expected to take several weeks, police said.

"We believe this maybe a human skull that has been at the site for many years," a spokesperson added.
