What is recorded here

Dumha Locha still hides a crannog, though no human hand has shaped its edge in living memory. The lake may have swallowed the wooden platform entirely, leaving only a dark smudge beneath the water where stones and timber rotted into mud. If so, the craft that built it vanished with the rain and tide, not with fire or conquest. What remains is a shape the land forgot, not a chamber waiting to be opened.
