CarsethornAxehead (bronze), Seal(s) (lead) · 342 yd

Explorer Tom Carsethorn has a bronze axe and some lead seals, which sounds like a very confused bar tab from ancient times. It’s sitting by the beach, probably wondering why nobody is asking for the check on that five-thousand-year-old bill. The seal looks like it was used to stamp 'no refunds' on a very old deal. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Hogus PointFish Trap (19th Century) - (20th Century) (possible) · 509 yd

Explorer Tom Hogus Point is a fish trap that looks like it was designed by someone who’d only seen one fish in their life. If it won the lotto, I bet it would buy another trap and put it next to this one for good measure. It’s got that 'I caught something once' energy but can’t prove it. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

North CarseCropmark(s) · 725 yd

Explorer Tom North Carse cropmarks are having a very loud argument with the seagulls about who really owns the view. These unknown period markings are basically invisible tattoos on the landscape, and the birds think they’re just another perch to judge the scenery from below. If the crops could speak, they’d tell the seagulls to stop picking at their secrets and mind their own business. Give it

Carsethorn, PierPier · 801 yd

Explorer Tom Carsethorn Pier is sick of being asked if it’s broken, so it just stands there looking mysterious instead. It’s got that 'period unassigned' vibe which basically means nobody knows when it started or why it stopped. Take the long way round to get there; it really does deserve the extra effort.

Explorer Tom Wreaths Tower is currently being judged by the local sheep, who think it takes itself far too seriously for a pile of old stones. It’s got that 'don't touch' look that most medieval ruins wear like a cheap suit. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
