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.64
