Stonehenge at Griggstown Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

NewJerseyGeocaching: The entire Griggstown geotrail was stolen. The Franklin Township authorities who is the property owner had developed and sponsored this beautiful geotrail, offering a custom trail map and pathtag reward for completing the trail. Unfortunately, all the Franklin township owned geocaches, custom birdhouses and replacement caches were stolen by some inconsiderate. This thief is against Franklin Township property, authorities have been made aware and are concerned. Thank you to everyone who visited Griggstown and enjoyed geocaching in the preserve.

Geocache Description:

This location at the Griggstown Preserve is a large stone outcrop which we called Stonehenge upon placing the geotrail caches


Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.

Archaeologists believe it was built anywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first stones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC,[2] whilst another theory suggests that bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC

The Griggstown Geotrail project is an exciting partnership between Franklin Township and The Northern New Jersey Cachers, NNJC.org who have partnered and volunteered their time, expertise and assistance and help develop and implement this geotrail.

The Griggstown Geotrail caches are placed with approval by Franklin Township, no new caches will be allowed at their Griggstown Native Grassland Preserve property without first obtaining written permission by Franklin Township.
