 **The Inn:** The unimaginatively named Stagmoor Arms, sells simple food and drink and has a few basic rooms for visitors.  It isn't particularly inviting, or busy, except on market days.
-**The warehouses**  A couple of warehouses, overseen by The Mayor, hold the wool, cheese and preserved meats ready for shipment to Westhaven, and onto wider markets.  One of the warehouses is used for the town's larger gatherings - such as The seasonal Barn dance and well attended court cases.
+**The Market:** Normally has a few people selling farm produce, such as milk, cheese, jam, pickles and fresh meat, for sale to the town's residents for immediate use.  On Market Day, almost every hamlet sends a few people to trade - so you might find Knife Sharpeners, people selling three-legged milking stools (and other minor furniture), homespun cloth and just about anything else that be made on a farmstead, when work is done for the day.   When the trade caravan in town, you will also find a number of itinerant traders, selling all sorts of imported items.  The only permanent structure is the Shrine to Azan.

-**The Hinterland:**  Small farms, gathered together to form hamlets, are dotted across the landscape, ofter access by smaller lanes branching off of the main roads.  The farms all have a few small fields, although they are mainly stock farms, and the moors are dotted with communal herds and flocks overseen by small groups of herders - all armed with spears and slings to drive predators away.  There are occasional disputes over grazing rights, between the different hamlets, most are resolved peaceable, although some are taken to the town court for resolution.
+**The Caravan Ground:** is really just a patch of open land, where the scrub bushes are kept under control, which is handy for the Market and the Warehouses.  Caravans park there when they come to trade, but might also be used for the summer games, as an impromptu camp site, or used as a playing field by the children.

+The farms are, generally, small  family run affairs -  a couple of small fields, a few chickens -  and a few animals (mainly sheep and goats) that graze the surrounding scrubland.   Each hamlet has a communal barn (Sheep shearing, wool & crop storage) and a communal workshop (cheese and preserving meat, according to season).
