It was made in honour of James Long of Wedhampton, whose family crest was the lion. He saw to the construction of a new road from Nursteed to Lydeway, avoiding the old road which had a very steep gradient and was tedious and dangerous for horses and travellers, and often used by highwaymen. The sound of a ghostly coach and horses have been heard nearby but never seen. Crop circles have been formed on the hill here.
