Explorer Tom Tonnachrae: A palisaded settlement where the builder was clearly thinking about how easy it would be to get stuck in traffic if the fence wasn’t tall enough. It’s from a later prehistoric era, which means people were still figuring out that walls are better than just shouting at each other across the valley. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard about who left their laundry out again

Peat HillSettlement (iron Age) · 1267 yd

Explorer Tom Peat Hill is an Iron Age settlement where locals swear if you sneeze on the peat, you’ll have bad luck for a week straight. It’s basically a boggy hill that thinks it has ancient magic and strong opinions about your footwear choices. The whole place smells like damp earth and regret from all the people who got stuck. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom Castle O'er is hosting a very exclusive Iron Age fan club meetup, complete with glass beads and spindle whorls as VIP passes. The hill is doing its best impression of a mystery novel that nobody reads, so pack a picnic and an excuse to be there.
