I believe the bone found whole in the ashes is most likely a larger
bone in the ferret body. The reason I say this is because the largest
bones would degrade last in the high furnace heat. The blunt end and
the V shape lead me to believe that it may be a radius or tibia, both
one of a paired bone in the fore-arm or lower leg (respectively).
Given the size, it may very likely be a radius.
I hope this helps.
