Offaly and based on radiocarbon dating he died sometime between 362 BC and 175 BC.

This is a story like no other. A story of a slain King, brutally murdered and dumped in the damp, dark marsh of the midlands. This is the story of Old Croghan Man, who was found in a bog beneath Croghan Hill in Co. Offaly and based on radiocarbon dating he died sometime between 362 BC and 175 BC.

He was extremely tall measuring 6ft 6 in height and had well manicured hands suggesting that he was not used to manual labour. His last meal (analysed from the contents in his stomach) consisted of cereals and milk . However, he was shown to have had a meat rich diet for at least the 4 months prior to this (based on analysis of his nails).
