At Lindow Common (5)
On the Moss: land which sits over a layer of impermeable clay where water lies near the surface and rotting vegetation forms a layer of mud and peat over the centuries. In medieval times, Lindow Moss was a remote region extending over an area perhaps ten times that of the present.
In 1984, operators of peat machinery uncovered a human foot in the mud and reported the find to the police. It transpired that this was not evidence of contemporary foul play but part of a highly preserved human corpse which had lain buried in the mud since the beginning of the Christian era. The body was in such good condition that experts could identify probable age and cause of death (likely to have been Druidic ritual execution by axe or garrotte). 'Lindow Man' acquired the popular name of 'Pete Marsh'.
