Listen "Bog Bodies of Ireland"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textAround 130 bodies have been found in our Irish bogs to date, some male, some female, and children too. Some were thought to be there by accident, perhaps as a result of falling into the bog and drowning. Others were considered to be formal burials, and others appear to be murder or sacrafice.The most famous is known as Cashel Man, who was discovered near Portlaoise in 2011, and at over 4000 years old. He is the oldest European bog body ever found with skin intact. Also discussed are Old Croghan Man from Co. Offaly, and Clonycavan Man from Co. Meath.
