Cairnerzean FellMound · 97 yd

Explorer Tom Cairnerzean Fell in Dumfries and Galloway’s New Year’s resolution was to finally figure out what it actually is, a mound or just a very tall hill? It’s been stuck on that for centuries and it’s getting annoying. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

CairnerzeanCairnfield (prehistoric), Field Boundary (prehistoric), Hut Circle (prehistoric) · 762 yd

Explorer Tom This Cairnerzean spot has hut circles, field boundaries, AND cairns. It’s like it accidentally wandered into the wrong postcode and just decided to stay. I bet it thinks it’s in the Highlands but it’s stuck in Dumfries and Galloway. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Almannoch HillBuilding (post Medieval) · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Almannoch Hill is a building that would win a county fair by simply existing and looking better than all the other old stone structures in the area. It’s post-medieval, which means it’s seen some things, but it keeps its cool no matter what you throw at it. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

PularyanBuilding(s) (post Medieval), Kiln (post Medieval) · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Pularyan is a post-medieval building with a kiln that has probably had a feud with the next village over something daft. It’s got that 'we do things differently here' attitude baked right into the stone walls. The kiln looks like it’s ready to roast anyone who questions its methods or history. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
