Keywords:
killarney, history, vegetation, pollen, geology, ireland, palynologyAbstract
This paper sets out to present data to date on the investigation of a lake site in Killarney presently undergoing study as part of a research project. A brief description of the characteristics of the area is offered, as well as a synopsis of the information available to date from both historical and palynological sources.
