POLICE investigating the discovery of human bones in a landfill area off Calf Lane, Mossley, in 2020 have concluded no suspicious circumstances.
An investigation was launched after a report from a member of the public shortly before 10.05am on Saturday, October 17.
Forensic examinations and radio carbon dating have concluded that the bones are human and are believed to be more than 100 years old.
