A twenty-ton boulder in a Hove park, flung there by the Devil from his building site on the Downs.
The Goldstone is a rock of about 20 tons lying in the south-west corner of Hove Park. Legend says the Devil threw it there while he was digging Devil's Dyke. Brighton & Hove Albion's old ground across the road, the Goldstone Ground, took its name from it.
