Hi Con, do you have a photo?

No Michael. There were recent fox scats (so some live ones about) along with a 1080 notice on a nearby sheep farm gate. I notice that some of the dentition is missing but am not sure whether a fox can be separated on the basis of that. I am fine with this being rated inconclusive.

Hi @ConBoekel you said 'some of the dentition is missing', implying there is a skull or lower jaw. Both are pretty good for identification, but we still do not have any photo of anything showing up. Photos of scats are far less good for ID, but we could possibly use those if you have them. However a 1080 sign scores zero for recording presence of a species.
