What is recorded here

Indicated is a small roughly circular crannog in Cuilcagh Lough, about sixty-five metres from the shore. It is the kind of place people may have built to live above water, keep animals safe or simply watch the lough change with the weather. The lake may have swallowed an older path or homestead, leaving only this round shadow behind.
