Specialist gardai are excavating the garden of a Letterkenny house amid reports that human remains could be located at the site.
A team of detectives and officers from the technical bureau began an operation at the house at Leck Cottages in the Oldtown area.
A mini digger was moved into the site as detectives begin a dig of the garden.
Sources suggest that the remains believed to be on the site are of a historic nature.
The homeowner was given prior notice of the operation. The investigation is not connected to the current owner of the property.
Following a tip-off, Gardai moved in at first light on Wednesday morning and the property was sealed off.
