Unidentified remains were exhumed and placed on Midleton's old railway line, says coroner

The belief that the woman may have been buried previously is because a crucifix and other items found close to the remains are believed to have been from a coffin

The nightdress discovered at the scene where skeletal remains were found on a section of the proposed Midleton to Youghal Greenway.

The remains of an unidentified woman found three years ago in East Cork are still in storage as efforts continue to find out who she is.

The remains, believed to be those of an elderly woman, were discovered near the Shanty Gate on the old railway line at Westpark, some 3km from Midleton, on the afternoon of January 5, 2021.  The discovery was made by workers developing a greenway along the old railway line.
