Ellingpigen blev fundet i 1938 på omtrent dette sted kun omkring 40-80 meter fra Tollundmanden som blev udgravet i 1950. Man mener Ellingpigen var en 25-årig kvinde som var blevet hængt i lighed med Tollundmanden.
Hun bar en kappe af skind og var svøbt i et skind eller tæppe. Hendes 1 meter lange hår var velbevaret. En kulstof-14 datering afslører at hun døde omkring 280 f.kr.

Ellingpigen was found in 1938 at this approximate location only 40-80 meters from another body from that time, Tollundmanden, who was excavated in 1950. It is believed that Ellingpigen was a 25 year old female who had been hung by the neck. She wore a hide made from sheep and was wrapped in another hide or blanket. Her 1 meter long hair was well preserved. According to a C-14 test she died around 280 B.C.
