Meenybraddan Woman
A.D. 1500-1600 Found in County Donegal, Ireland in 1978
The style of the woolen cloak in which she was wrapped dates this woman to the
late 16th century, distinguishing her from the more common Iron Age bog bodies.
She was in her late 20s or early 30s when she died. Given that she was interred
in a peat bog, in what was likely an unconsecrated grave, she may have been a
murder victim or a suicide.
