An evocative sound portrait of the UK's largest lake, Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland.
With a shoreline measuring over 70 miles long, this vast stretch of water is more like a sea than a lake.
Recordings made above and below the waves reveal a moody, stormy, wild and even dangerous place where legends of a buried town, a horse god and three sisters emerge from the shallows.
Meanwhile, smoke-like plumes and huge flocks of birds rise from the surface as the seasons unfold.
Producer: Sarah Blunt
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in January 2009.
