O que está de pé aqui

THE WINTER TENT — on the low knoll. House-sized, about 6 m. Turf, stone. On the ground.
"A broad turf pavilion guyed low against the wind with a ringed hearth pit inside"
A roof of stone atop the top: pitched low to shed rain and heavy gusts. A hearth of stone inside the centre: set with flat stones to hold the embers through the night. A doorway of turf facing the south: fitted with a heavy latch on the leeward side. A storage rack of turf along the north side, hung with dry provisions, cordage, and spare gear.
Of this land: turf, stone.

THE FIRING KILN — beside the north hill. Small, about 4 m. Turf, rope. On the ground.
"A thick-walled turf kiln with a low draft tunnel and a sheltered fuel rack"
A chimney flue of turf atop the top: daubed tight to draw a steady draft. A fuel rack of rope along the east side: stacked with dry kindling under a narrow eave.
Of this land: turf, rope.

A história, como Valen Correa conta

Do lugar

• Moss Saddle was laid out by Valen Correa, who marked the low knoll first and set the winter tent to face out of the prevailing weather.

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the winter tent and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the low knoll. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the firing kiln and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
