I see how calling those firepits contradicts the *literal* meaning of the
word, but just the same, there seems to be pretty widespread usage of the
word in that way, at least in the US. If someone in the UK could comment
about usage there, that might be helpful.

Rather than introducing other tags, would it be better to just better
define and document what firepit should be used for?
Probably the best idea. The way I see it is that the main information

I would not suggest to do so, because not all places like this are
circular, there are also square ones, and the problem would remain the sa
I get what you're saying, but I think fire_site would be too generic. What
about using fire_ring instead? Whether it's dug into the ground or not,

I would agree with Martin and disagree with John there. I guess I have a

yes, the most obvious use case would be BBQ.
The thing in your example picture could be called "fire ring", but the

basically it is not the same thing. The German "Feuerstelle" translates to
