Just wondering about the Clonycavan Man's height. The Internet 'consensus' I've seen is that this individual was in fact this height, yet Miranda Aldhouse-Green in her 2015 book, Bog Bodies Uncovered (Thames and Hudson) says that he was 1.79m (5'9"). Huge difference between 5'2" and 5'9". Can anyone explain the discrepancy? Her height for Old Croghan Man is off, too: everyone else says 6'6", while she says 1.91m (6'4") and then 'nearly 2m (6'5"). Maybe there's a difference of opinion, but it would be nice if the investigators could explain why they disagree (presumably arm span is calculated and then taken as an indicator of height in most cases).
