Sean-bhaile Wood

Ruins at Ach Mhairc Mhoir The remains of a depopulated township in Glen Tilt. In total it comprises twenty-seven buildings, four corn-drying kilns and several enclosures within an area of lazy-bed cultivation and clearance heaps. The remains vary from grass covered footings 0.5m high to drystone walls 1.5m high suggesting two phases of depopulation, the first beginning about 1850.

The name means &#039;big field/meadow of the horse&#039;, I think, although I may be corrected by a proper Gaelic scholar. — Ruins at Ach Mhairc Mhoir Credit: Alan O'Dowd
