I found this article on the web:

A nice way to commemorate the Admiral's victory

I know it! I have been there 3 years ago - I found a geocache about Nelson near the road, but I did not understand why is a geocache about navy so far from the sea... This place is only few miles from Stonehenge and from Salisbury. Thank you very much Attilio, this is great find for me!

Thank you Attilio. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been to Stonehenge yet. Now I have two reasons to go.

Wow, I go there once or twice a month and never realised that what those trewes were there for. Excellent find, old chap!
