A view of a grass covered Bronze Age burial mound surrounded by heather moorland in drab, wintry colours. A Bronze Age round barrow with an earth and stone mound standing 1.5 metres high. It is round in shape and is 23 metres in diameter. In the centre of the mound are the stone foundations of a shooting hut which dominates the view.

Fhithich is Gaelic for raven

I am told
  • the Fh is silent
  • the Th sounds like "h" in horse
  • the Ch sounds like "ch" in “loch"
  • So the pronounciation is “eeich” (just like a raven's screech in fact). Simples.

    Can you add any further info?

    I would be interested to hear of any recollections or memories you have for the locations or subjects in these posts. Just add a comment .

    Old map extracts

    The Ordnance Survey have now withdrawn their OS OpenSpace which means that my old method of embedding a map extract in a post will no longer work. You may get a message which says:

    Just click on 'OK'

    There are just too many posts to go back and change each one to their new system but if you come across one and are desparate to know from where I took the photograph just drop me a line and I'll update it

    Missing archive posts

    I've just discovered that a number of posts haven't been migrated from the old Wordpress site. I need to think how to correct this. In the meantime here is the link to old site.
