Explorer Tom Fourmerklandhill: An Iron Age settlement that smells strongly of wet wool and regret, according to Tom, who has sniffed around enough of these places to know the difference. The name is a mouthful that makes your lips tingle just saying it, like you’ve been chewing on a stick for an hour. Stop the car, pop the hazard lights on, and let your brain try to pronounce it without gagging.
Explorer Tom Allandoo is ready to survive a zombie attack by locking its farmstead doors and throwing rocks from the field system, though it admits it lacks the strategy. It thinks the sheepfold provides enough cover for everyone, which is a bold move given the lack of walls. Stop the car; it's worth the hazard lights.
Explorer Tom Liddesdale has a stone with a cross incised on it, but the rabbits clearly think it’s just another bump to hop over. It was found in 1948, which is basically yesterday for geology, so don’t get too attached to its mystique. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or just confused.
