A small quiet forest near croplands. Ruins in the woods. Ghost trees along the shore with pentacles by each area. Towers and a castle in an arc between the forest and the croplands.
No need to worry citizens ! The towers and castle are just a precaution !

Drum castle, they have a drum alarms if anything emerges from the forest.
Just under the words 'Guard Road' and to the left and below those words, are two small hamlets with rotting fields. They could be haunted.
Two evil markers with horns in the center area.
Henge ruins with broken towers near them, just to the west of Drum Castle.
Sorry - getting carried away!
The sound of drums carries further than bells. Like the rumbling noises that elephants make which we can't hear but can feel through our boots. Only the bigger bells can match it, and only when they are big enough to make those same long wavelength sounds.
Sorry again! Getting even further from the point.
This is looking quite interesting now. Looking forward to the detail maps
I think i"ll detail one of the gray tree-pentagram areas, and one of the henges with ruined tower nearby.
That would be great
Maybe you are doing the old hyper-self criticism thing again
More about needed details like a partial floor above ground level.
I know I angst about my maps sometimes they aren't very good.
Hopefully getting the two detail maps done this week.
The symbols look a bit small to me. Their scale is 0.00300.
The Lost village was supposedly over run by one very large rat. There are those who claim the ghost trees surrounding the village were planted to look like a rat. Those distant relatives who have gone here to look for survivors don't come out of this small wood.
Dead Keep houses something evil. Lanterns can be seen moving between floors at night.
Henge of Unhappiness used to be called Henge to Glory. It broke under evil attacks.
Castle of Doom was once called Defenders' Castle ! Its inhabitants are no more.
Strange noises can be heard from the woods of Ghost Forest, day or night.
Burn ? Yes, a star has been burned into the very Living Rock that has been pushed up from below. By what ? That is unknown.

I might make the Henge to Glory, what it was before it came under attack and ruined.
I used CSUAC dsymbols as they had good ruins symbols.
Should I zoom in a bit ? Scale bar is 50'.
One large building top, the three mounds of debris.
Six small buildings to the right, some walls, all have fireplaces.
Three buildings south of the large building.
One building off by itself, towards the lower left.
When I zoom in and check the fireplaces, the flue is 2' across and the entire symbol is 7' wide.
Get some rest and drink plenty of water/fruit juice.
That additional detail might be better in a dungeon scale map, but I expect I'm teaching my granny to suck eggs again
I want to make maps of the Mayor's house interior, and a stairway down. Then one of the basement. Probably one for the Sage's house to.
I do hope you recover soon
