Can't really add much to the discussion as I know nothing - where's tiompan when we need him? :-) but I enjoyed reading your post. I'd love to visit someday.

I'm pretty sure I can see the eye you are talking about (looks like someone's given it a beard as well!)

If it's a goat, would that rule out a date of 12,500-12,000 years ago? Anyone got a rough date for introduction of goats to these isles?

That's the point, isn't it? Sheep are not indigenous to the UK, so presumably goats weren't here before the last Ice Age either.
