Gardai believe it may be weeks before they identify skeletal remains which were found in Co Wexford.
A dog walker found the remains in a ditch at Ballyandrew, near Ferns at half eleven this morning.
Technical officers will attend the scene in the morning and a post mortem is expected to be carried out tomorrow.
Gardai say it's too early to establish the age or gender of the remains which are believed to be completely skeletal.
