Geocache Description:


Malachi 4:2 - ... and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

 

Stamford is part of a huge astrological calendar centred on Stonehenge. The large prehistoric bull-shaped earthwork that once stood there has since been built over. However the construction of Christian buildings on ancient pagan sites ensured that the outline of the bull was retained.
