The text at the top of the page suggests there were 7 puddingstones in Tyttenhanger ("Sites No. 54 to 60"), but in fact there were only 3 (as per 'The Lost Trackway' page 16).

These were:
At the former Barley Mow pub - I can confirm the stone is definitely gone from there.

At the gate to Hillend Farm - this stone is also gone. The farm has only ever had the one entrance, and this has been radically altered by the creation of a lay-by for a bus stop.

On the west side of Highfield Lane, level with the beginning of Winchfield Wood. Known locally as 'The Block', this had already disappeared by 1920.

Dr. Rudge said that these 3 stones "stood about 200 yards from each other, probably representing the average spacing along this length of the track". Unfortunately, his measurements were about as good as his grid references and his ability to tell puddingstone from sarsen, as it's 623 yards from the Barley Mow to the farm gate, and 656 yards from there to the site of 'The Block'.

Dear Willowman,
much obliged! So there it is behind the garden fence, "It's behind you!".
a nice change to find it actually exists. When there is no photograph supplied for a site, it usually turns out that the object no longer exists - especially if they're puddingstones!

    tombraider, sorry but I think I've misled you! Whatever that object is behind the fence, it's not likely to be the missing puddingstone after all! Now that Street View can show earlier images, it's obvious that it wasn't actually there before 2012. Ah well.

      returning to the old pub, thinking I had been looking the wrong way (or even parked on it!), and poking around, the proprietor came out and told me there had never been a stone there ever. So, yet another that never existed or vanished long ago.
      Tracking puddingstones is a challenging hobby! (from Tombraider)

    tombraider, if you have a chance to go near the Barley Mow at Tyttenhanger again, take a look just behind the green fence that's straight ahead in this Street View shot: https://goo.gl/maps/vuEr7Qyu73B2 It's suspiciously sharp-edged, but it might just be the puddingstone, you never know.
