Default mystery bulbs

Re-landscaping someone's garden at the min, laying paving etc and I've
excavated a flowerbed in order to pave over it.
There are hundreds of bulbs there, I've salvaged a bucketful but no idea
what they are, google images isn't helping.

They have no roots coming off the bottom, are pure white, no skin (tunic?)
they're about 1.5 inches round, they look like new potatoes! also they have
an indentation on top where previous growth has been.


Your description is similar to the Spanish Bluebell bulbs I often dig up.
