County - Tyrone

Location - Thornhill Parish Church

Date of discovery – pre-1901

Description
At parish church between Donaghmore and Pomeroy. The body of a woman was discovered in the same bog embedded in the peat some peat below the surface. A large fracture in the skull leads one to suppose that this woman was murdered. It seems certain that she had lived some time in the past century.
