  We study the two families of AdS$_3\times S^3\times S^2\times \Sigma_2$
solutions to massive Type IIA supergravity with small and large $(0,4)$
supersymmetries constructed recently in the literature, in connection with the
AdS$_7\times S^2\times I$ solutions to massive Type IIA, to which they
asymptote locally. Based on our analysis of various observables, that we study
holographically, we propose an interpretation of the first class of solutions
as dual to deconstructed 6d (1,0) CFTs dual to AdS$_7$, and of the second class
as dual to surface defects in the same 6d theories. Among the observables that
we study are baryon vertices and giant graviton configurations in quiver-like
constructions.
