What is recorded here

Crannog in Rossbeg, County Donegal, is an artificial island built above water, likely for shelter or ritual. People may have stood there at dawn, watching mist leave the bay while birds called across the surface. The lake keeps the shape of their choices, even when the world has forgotten the names they used.
