What is recorded here

Crannog in Roisín Na Mainiach is an artificial island in County Galway, Ireland. Whether people lived there, kept animals there or simply marked the water with wood and soil, the crannog still proves that the lake was never empty. It is the kind of place where human hands shaped the surface before leaving behind a shape the water still holds.
