Newbie needs a little help! Fossil limb bone ID?

Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum and fossils in general, so need all the help I can get! Found this on the coast in the UK today. It appears to be the fossilised end of a limb bone. 

It's heavy, nearly a 1lb, and is as hard as rock. It's 4.5 inches long (11.5cm) and 2.5 inch widest. Any help from the keen fossil minds on this forum would be fantastic.

Looks like a heavily worn end of a tibia or even a femur of some large beast.  I am not seeing enough diagnostic features to even guess at the genus.  Something in the big horse/camel range though.
