What is recorded here

Indicated is a crannog in County Mayo, Ireland, an artificial island where people may have built homes above wet ground. It belongs to the old human habit of taking marshland back from the sea, shaping soil and timber into a small dry world. The name gives no further detail, but the form is clear: a made place, not a found one.
