Three thieves were executed and their bodies hung on the hill as a warning to others. They murdered an unknown sailor they had befriended in the Red Lion in nearby Thursley. His memorial stone is closeby. Locals began to fear the area so in 1851, Sir William Erle erected this cross to show that it was safe.
