DunragitPit Circle (prehistoric) (possible), Timber Circle (neolithic) - (bronze Age) (possible) · 174 yd

Explorer Tom Dunragit is a place that has been trying to outdo Stonehenge since the Bronze Age, but it’s mostly just a pile of pits and possible timber circles. It’s like the underdog in a fight, always hoping someone will notice its effort. The 'possible' part of its description does a lot of heavy lifting here.

It started as a possible medieval castle and turned into an 18th-century country house, which is like changing your hairstyle mid-argument. It looks like it’s complaining about its own dampness every single day without fail. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than my
