What is recorded here

Indicated is a crannog in County Mayo, Ireland. The water may have hidden a wooden house, a fishing camp or a forgotten home for centuries. People may have lived above the lake while ducks circled below and rain filled the roof. The lake keeps that life intact because nobody has disturbed it.
