ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
The remains of Clonycavan Bog Man dates to between 392-201 B.C. The remains were found in a peat bog. The lower portion of the body was destroyed but the upper portion, including internal organs, were intact. The individual would have been about 5'7" tall. He had a very distinctive hairstyle - the hair on the top of his head grew long and was worn in a pony tail while the sides were cut very short. If you look at the remains, you can clearly see his face and hair. Pretty amazing find!
