Hightae, Mill BridgeRoad Bridge · 976 yd

Explorer Tom Hightae Mill Bridge in Dumfries and Galloway is stuck in an unassigned period because nobody can agree on when it was actually built. The weather has a long-standing grudge against it and rains on it specifically to make it look moody. It’s a road bridge that seems to be holding its breath while waiting for history to give it a date. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Castle MainsFarmhouse, Farmstead · 1116 yd

Explorer Tom Castle Mains is pretending to be a grand estate but it’s just a farmhouse with big plans. It thinks its New Year's resolution is finally getting some royal attention, which is hilarious considering nobody knows what period it belongs to. Seriously, who builds a castle and forgets the date? Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

ShillahillBlade (pitchstone), Lithic Implement(s) (chert), Lithic Implement(s) (flint) · 1546 yd

Explorer Tom Shillahill again? This time it’s got pitchstone blades and chert implements, so basically, it’s a rock collection with an ego problem. The sheep on the farm are probably tired of us pointing at their lawns like they’re archaeological sites. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Lockerbie CreameryNo Class (event) (21st Century) · 1587 ydRoberthillPoint (flint) · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Roberthill in Dumfries and Galloway is hiding a flint point that I am absolutely certain is just a fancy biscuit tin lid. It’s an unassigned period artifact in a grass field, waiting for someone to dig up their lunch break. The location is vague enough that I might have already stepped on it without knowing. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Range Castle is an Iron Age fort that probably saw a cow try to buy it with a handful of shiny rocks. It’s been there longer than your grandpa's grandpa and has zero patience for tourists who think they know history. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Sherwood Crescent Memorial GardenGarden · 2.4 miApplegarthMonastery (medieval) (possible), Tower House (medieval) (possible) · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Applegarth is secretly proud of one very specific potato that grew in its garden three centuries ago, refusing to let anyone forget it. It’s a possible monastery and tower house combo, which means it probably argues with itself about whether to pray or defend every single day. The church caption suggests it’s done some renovating on its soul too. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should.
