Cashel Man is a bog body from the Cúl na Móna bog near Cashel in County Laois, Ireland. He was found by Bord na Mona employee Jason Phelan from Abbeyleix. The body was a young adult male, around 20-25, who had been intentionally covered with peat after death. The crouched figure was recovered after being partially damaged by a milling machine in 2011. The head and left arm were presumed destroyed by the peat harvester, until later found.^[2] Radiocarbon dating places him around 2000 BC, making it the oldest fleshed bog body of Europe.^[1][3]
