Raised bogs are among the world’s oldest living, near-natural eco-systems. Many of Ireland’s great raised bogs date back almost 10,000 years. They are found mainly in the midlands and it is estimated that they once covered almost a million acres of land

# data[].attributes.body
Raised bogs occurred mostly in the midland counties of Offaly, Westmeath, Longford, Laois, Roscommon and Tipperary, Kildare and the western counties of Galway and East Mayo. they were also found in the Bann Valley in Northern Ireland.

The exhibition, Kingship and Sacrifice, is the result of the findings of the National Museum of Ireland’s Bog Bodies Research Project, which was established in 2003 following the discovery of two Iron Age bog bodies at Oldcroghan, Co. Offaly and Clonycavan, Co. Meath.

It exists two types of blanket bogs : Atlantic Blanket Bog and Mountain Blanket Bog.Atlantic blanket bogs is present on the west coast from sea level to an altitude of 200m. Here, rainfall is 1,200mm per year. Atlantic blanket bog vegetation has a characteristic grassy appearance The principal features of blanket bog are patterned surfaces of pools (bassins), flat and sloped areas (zones plates et inclinées), flushes and swallow holes (trous d'hirondelle).Mountain blanket bogs occur on relatively flat terrain in the mountain ranges above 200m altitude. Here rainfall is high and evaporation is low. Natural drains, lakes and flushes are features of mountain blanket bogs.Blanket bog formation in the mountains and lowlands of the west of Ireland started at the end of the last glaciation, 10,000 years ago. Initially peat formation was confined to shallow lakes (lacs peu profonds) and wet hollows (cavités humides). Over time, it formed the blanket bog habitat we find today. Peat spread out to form a blanket covering huge areas of poorly drained land. Heavy rainfall caused minerals such as iron. These were deposited lower down where they formed an impermeable layer known as an iron pan. Water cannot move down through such a layer and the soil surface became waterlogged as a result. Under these conditions the accumulation and spread of peat was made possible.There are a number of scientific, economic, cultural and moral reasons for conserving blanket bogs.Only a small amount of blanket bog exists in the world. Ireland possesses 8% of the world’s blanket bog and is the most important country in Europe for this type of habitat.Blanket bog landscapes provide a refuge for a rich biodiversity of species including several rare plants, birds and invertebrate species.Blanket bogs are commonly used as rough grazing land for sheep and cattle (pâturage des moutons et du bétail), Blanket bogs preserve prehistoric farming landscapes.The blanket bog is endangered. The drivers of the loss of blanket bogs include peat extraction, afforestation, over grazing, drainage, burning, erosion and landslides.Originally 908,117ha of blanket bog covered the island of Ireland. Only 28% (216,599ha) of the blanket peatland resource remains in a relatively intact condition in the Republic of Ireland.
