Hut site in Formaoil (tc Trian Iarthach) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Formaoil holds a subcircular hut site where large slabs still stand on edge, rising slightly above the sloping pasture. Local tradition calls it a children's burial ground, transforming an ordinary dwelling into a place of quiet grief and forgotten loss. The boundary between home and grave has blurred, leaving behind a chamber where love and lament still breathe through the stones.

Not marked on the OS maps, KE088-013---- is known locally as a children's burial ground. Situated on N sloping pasture, it consists of a raised, subcircular area, defined by a number of large slabs set on edge. Measuring 6.7m N-S x 6.3m E-W in diameter, it rises an average of .25m above the surrounding ground level. It may have originally been a circular hut. The above description is derived from A.
