What is recorded here

'In February 1987 a sod of turf containing human hair was handed into the Museum by a Mr. Seamus Kennedy of Gortahork, Co. Donegal. The turf was delivered to Mr. Kennedy, who noticed the hair and informed the NMI. No other body parts or artefacts were found. It was not possible for Mr. Kennedy to ascertain the exact location of the find as the consignment of turf delivered to him had been cut at a number of different bogs in the townland of Meenlaragh.’ (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 2, 467) Compiled by: Paddy O'Donovan Revised date of upload: 25 March 2014
