Claddy House BurnBurnt Mound (prehistoric) · 408 yd

Explorer Tom Claddy House Burn has a burnt mound that looks like someone left their BBQ on for three thousand years without moving it an inch. There might be a biscuit tin hidden in there, but don't tell the historians. Go now, before it gets famous.

High CroachFarmstead · 830 ydCairn Hill, CairnryanCairn (prehistoric) · 1347 yd

Explorer Tom Cairn Hill, Cairnryan is making a weird grinding noise at night, or maybe it's just my tummy rumbling in the dark. It’s definitely older than your phone, which should make you feel small. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Several BurnShieling Hut(s) (post Medieval) · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Several Burn is hosting a heated debate about parking rights between a fairy and a very tired farmer. The hut in the middle is trying not to take sides while the rain does its best to ruin everyone’s day. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom Craigcaffie Tower is where the whole parish argued for three days straight about whether the roof leaned left or right. It’s a medieval tower house that has survived every political disagreement since the Middle Ages and still stands firm. The name sounds like a sneeze caught in a thimble, which fits perfectly. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
