This is a traditional cache not too far from the stone. However, you will need to locate the boundary stone and find the letter/s on the rear of the stone which will help you to find the bonus cache.
The caches are:
Prowse's Lane (Beating the Bounds) GC2VW03
Stubbington Drove (Beating the Bounds) GC2VW0Z
Callow Drove (Beating the Bounds) GC2VQPY
Shute Shelve (Beating the Bounds) GC2VW1Z
Beating the Bounds GC2WE3M
Beating the bounds is an ancient custom still observed in some English and Welsh parishes. A group of old and young members of the community would walk the boundaries of the parish on Rogation Sunday, to share the knowledge of where they lay, and to pray for protection and blessings for the lands. Although modern surveying techniques make the ceremony obsolete, at least for its secular purpose, many English parishes carry out a regular beating of the bounds, as a way of strengthening the community and giving it a sense of place.
Thank you to the National Trust for giving us permission to place this cache.
