There's a nice little pdf on the RSPB site on how to study owl pellets - https://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/Owlpe...cm9-133500.pdf.
If it is a pellet then tawny owl likes a likely candidate: "Tawny owl pellets are usually greyer and more obviously ‘furry’ than those of the barn owl. They are medium sized pellets (20-50 mm long) with a bumpy surface. The shape is long and narrow, but irregular and they tend to taper at one end." (Taken from the above pdf).
This has reminded me that I've still got some barn owl pellets in my garage that I haven't disected yet.
