Explorer Tom Harelaw Hill is a prehistoric enclosure built by people who clearly had no sense of humor. They probably thought 'Hare Law' was a good name for their neighborhood plan. It’s been sitting there since before written history, just waiting to be discovered. If it rains, blame me.

Park HouseEnclosure (possible), Pit(s) (possible) · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Park House has some pits and an enclosure, which is basically a hole in the ground with a fence. Imagine explaining the 1800s to a teenager: 'We dug holes and hoped for the best.' It’s archaeological gold, but also just dirt. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Explorer Tom Woodslee would tell you after a few pints that it actually buried a dragon but the paperwork was lost in the Bronze Age. It’s a burial cairn and possible tower house with an accuracy to the nearest metre, so you can find it easily if you’re not distracted, so dare you to say hello to it out loud.
