In October 2023, police in Northern Ireland uncovered a disturbing set of human remains in a bog just outside of Bellaghy. With patches of skin, fingernails, and even one organ still partially intact,

Initial excavations found bones from the arms, legs, fingers and breastbone, police said. Because the body had been well preserved in the bog environment, researchers also found partial skin, fingernails from the left hand, some toenails and what appears to be a kidney.

Archaeologists found the remains of a young woman believed to have lived over 2,000 years ago during the Iron Age in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The remains, now named the Ballymacombs More Woman, were found in peatland near Bellaghy and are thought to date between 343 BCE and 1 BCE, according to The Irish Times.
