A bog body is a human cadaver that has been naturally mummified in a peat bog. Such bodies, sometimes known as bog people, are both geographically and chronologically widespread, having been dated to between 8000 BCE and the Second World War.

I believe it is a human body that has been normally preserved in a peat lowland. I’m sorry if this is wrong it’s just what I have in my notes :)
