| Comments: | More senses, change “historical” to “historic” (as per usage distinction – I had to look this up, as I didn’t remember the exact distinction). Usage-wise, this is very often used when the site is historic but there are no present remains, e.g., on a stone pillar saying “there was once a huge palace here” (but now it’s a dry-cleaner’s). |
