What is recorded here

Crannog is an islet in County Tyrone, Ireland, where a small house or shelter may have stood above the water. It is the kind of place people build when land is crowded or danger is near, and the lake does the work of a moat. The water keeps the edges clean and the middle dark, which is why the idea of Crannog still feels like a room hidden inside a county.
