Here's the link to the online report, the leather remains are probably mineralized, although it doesn't seem to mention it, or the type of leather, I would suggest given that goatskin is usually quite a light leather a more robust flexible calf or cow was used ....: it may simply be that they used whatever was available new or recycled ......

Had a quick search through the monograph but didn't come up with anything resembling goat, cow, calf or bovine perhaps you'll have better luck.....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
