Dunno why this was created....after all, the North and North East are littered with the real thing, so it wouldn't have attracted tourists or 'mystics'. There are a few well known modern follies in the West, but they are 'legit', having been flagged up to local authorities at their creation.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Piltdown man, anybody? Although this looks like it was much more innocently created.
