Thank you, they could possibly be a pigeons or dove eggs

Pigeons and doves only lay one or two eggs at the time, so I doubt if it is that. It may be a pheasant or your neighbour's hen has found a new laying place.

Mmmm we definately don't have any pheasants or hens close by and its in such a tight area the bird would have to be smallish but obviously not too small as the eggs are quite large.

I've never heard of pigeons nesting on the ground, their eggs are less than an inch long. From their size they must be bigger than a partridge which doesn't leave much choice.
