Arkleton LochanCultivation Remains (medieval) - (post Medieval), Ring Enclosure (post Medieval) · 1002 yd

Explorer Tom Arkleton Lochan is cultivation remains that look like someone tried to farm the hillside and then got tired halfway through the first row. It’s a ring enclosure that would be the person at a wedding who eats all the cake before the toast and apologises while licking their fingers. The lochan part suggests there’s water somewhere, but it’s probably just a puddle pretending to be a lake.

Auldshiels HillFarmstead (post Medieval) · 1283 yd

Explorer Tom Auldshiels Hill is being picked on by the wind because it refuses to wear a scarf. It’s a post-medieval farmstead that thinks it’s much older and wiser than it actually is. The name 'Auldshiels' sounds like a very grumpy old man who lives there. Take a breath of that air, because it’s definitely older than your car.

Hartrith RigSheepfold (19th Century) · 1444 yd

Explorer Tom Hartrith Rig in Dumfries and Galloway holds a fake world record for being the most boring 19th-century sheepfold ever documented! It’s not even trying, which is why everyone secretly admires its chill vibe. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Explorer Tom Mosspeeble is a historical buffet in Dumfries and Galloway. It’s got enclosures, lazy beds, ring ditches, and a glass bead all mixed up like a bad stew. At night, it probably makes that *clink* sound when the old glass beads shift in their sleep. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
