Over the years, well-preserved bodies from Celtic times have been found in peat bogs. Some of them have shown signs of human sacrifice. For example, in 1984 a male body was found in a bog at Lindow Moss near Manchester in England. It was discovered that Lindow Man, as he was called, had died from horrific wounds.
