Sambar or small horse. Was there evidence of upper incisor teeth at the front tip of the upper jaw? Any other bones in the area?

No upper teeth that I could see and no other bones in the area.

OK, horses have upper incisors, deer do not. Fallow deer skull is more curved up and down. I think this is a female Sambar.
