Tropical storm Ophelia pummeled Great Britain last month, knocking out power, shutting down businesses and schools, and leaving three people dead in Ireland. When Ophelia made landfall there, it caused the first severe weather alert for the entire country, and left coastal erosion, which led to a surprising archaeological find. As Erica Doyle Higgins reports for the Irish Post, the storm unearthed a skeleton that is estimated to be more than 1,000 years old.

Someone came across the skeleton while going for a stroll after the storm on a coastal walkway called Forlorn Point, which certainly sounds like the sort of place where ancient remains would resurface after hundreds of years. Ireland’s state pathologist arrived soon after the discovery to examine the skeleton, which appears to have been buried in a grave. “n other words it is not a body that was washed ashore,” Jim Moore, a local councilor, told Saoirse McGarrigle of the Irish Mirror.

1. And this isn't the first time a storm has unearthed an Irish skeleton

A centuries-old human skeleton burst out of the ground after a ferocious storm uprooted a tree in Ireland.

Archaeologists were stunned when the bones of the young man — estimated to be 1,000 years old — were unearthed after the beech tree was blown over in western County Sligo.

The skeleton is believed to be that of a 17- and 20-year-old man who suffered a violent death during the early medieval period.

Bizarrely, the lower leg bones remained in the grave, while the upper part of the body was entangled in the tree roots and raised in the air.
