What is recorded here

Hot water hissed in Derrynafeana while people waited beside the stones. The mound still stands one metre high, a semicircular ridge of fire-shattered rock around a small flat basin. It is easy to imagine hands lifting gear, wool or children from the heat, and laughter carrying above the steam.
