Ancient human remains uncovered in a Co Londonderry bog are believed to belong to a young woman who lived around 2,000 years ago.

The discovery has been hailed as “one of the most important archaeological discoveries on the island of Ireland”.

Please please don't 👻 your book review editors! We are always SO understanding about late reviews and ghosting just means that the authors do not get their books reviewed. #PhDChat #AcademicChatter
