    Lánuisge:-
    This field is at the back of my home. There was a lake there long ago, and in the winter there is some water in the centre of it still. There is a hill in one end of it with a lone bush on the hill. There is also a heap of stones with bushes around it, and a large tree growing in the centre of the heap. There is a small path going through this heap of stones and blackthorn bushes.
