Crannog in Baile Dhúlocha — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Still Island in Ballydoo Lough is a small circular crannog where local tradition claims people once lived. Drainage work lowered the water, revealing a narrow reed band that may be an abandoned causeway to the north shore. The lake gave back a hint of its hidden shape, inviting wonder about the hands that built it and the days it served.

In Ballydoo Lough. Still Island, a small overgrown circular island in N half of the lake, is held by local tradition to have once been inhabited.
