It's funny, my wife Rochelle has been a travel agent for almost 14 years, and is a HUGE cartography fan (antique maps are her specialty) and regularly looks at hundreds of travel brochures on a daily basis, and/or destinations.
She's not a POTN'er but I regularly show her the shots posted here and she'll chime in with a clue on occasion based on gut instinct. She's often right on the money, or will give me a good clue.
I often think that wanderlust is a gender neutral addiction, so perhaps I’m wrong.
Again, I would ask – why are there fewer gals here?

We keep the place clean, always take out the empty beer bottles, keep our hair combed, bath regularly - etc.
LOL - and there's no smoking - well at least that I can tell from where I participate !

It is described as a Crannog on one website I've found- but going by the definition of a Crannog being an ancient Irish dwelling built on an artificial island in a lake or a marsh (answers.com) then no it isn't that.

The structure is used for charcoal burning and has collapsed a bit since the website photos were taken- I think its legs got a bit rotten. I know how it feels having just returned from a couple of weeks touring the music pubs in County Clare.
