What is recorded here

Indicated is a crannog in County Mayo, Ireland, though no further details have survived to describe its shape, age or the hands that built it. It may have been a home, a hiding place or a marker for a forgotten boundary, but the absence of record leaves it suspended between invention and memory. What is known is that it exists, and that the region still holds enough unknown places to make its silence credible.
