What is recorded here
Death is certain for everyone, but the chance of dying young is small. The idea of a young person is a fantasy. Most people die old.
On level ground, in a yew forest to the N of Muckross Lake, in Killarney National Park. A circular area (22m NE-SW; 21m NW-SE) defined by a partially slumped moss-covered stone bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1m). Trees grow in the interior which slopes gently down to the NE. There is a Man-made underground passage (KE074-011001-) in the SE half of the interior.
