More information : (ST96807015) Hoar Stone (GT). (1) There are several small sarsens in Boxwood Park which have been suggested to have been brought there as curiosities or land-marks, but the Earl of Kerry thought they might be in situ. One, the 'Whore Stone', the Old (Hoar) Stone in the park, near the Deermead, has been known for over two centuries and gave its name to an enclosure shown in a map of 1755. (2) This stone has disappeared: there is no information of its going or of its present whereabouts. No mention (Grinsell, Arch. Gaz.Wilts 1957). (3,4)
