This is the third incarnation of a cache at this site, but I think it's a place worth marking so as no-one else has taken up the reins I've placed one myself. For those who have found the previous two it should be easy to grab another smiley, anyone who hasn't done the previous two may be interested to see this spot.
At first glance this group of stones may look like a Megalithic monument, however it's only about 100-150 years old. The stones are reputed to have been placed by Colonel George Greenwood (1799-1875), of nearby Brockwood Park, in memory of a favourite horse. There are currently two intact Teralithons (three stones with a flat stone on top), however its thought that there were originally five or six, but they have all collapsed and the stones are now lying in disarray. Local legend has it that the Colonel brought the stones here himself by wheelbarrow when, close to death, he was told by his doctor that fresh air and excercise might extend his life, but seeing the size of the stones he would have needed a big barrow and if he did bring them here on his own then the strain probably finished him off.
Other local stories have it that the stones are 'older than stonehenge', or that they mark the burial ground of the dead from the Civil war Battle of Cheriton.
While standing at the GZ, if you look to the other side of the A272 you will see an earth mound inside a circle of Beech trees. If you cross the road for a look you'll see that this is a mound of flints, and the story says that the horse which is commemorated by the stones is buried under this mound, and that it was buried wearing golden shoes.
There is space to park a couple of cars just off the road, and there's also a bus stop close by.
Can be done as a cache-n-dash.
This road can be very busy and cars travel very fast along it so please take care espescially with kids or dogs.
