I recall that he bought the ancient monument called Stonehenge.

Indeed he did. He attended an auction held by Knight, Frank & Rutley in the Palace Theatre, Salisbury on 21 September 1915, having supposedly gone to purchase some dining-room chairs for his wife. He paid £6,600 (around £900,000 nowadays) as he felt Stonehenge should be owned by a local man; he had been born in Shrewton on the Plain and lived in Salisbury. Three years later he donated it to the nation and was knighted a year later. What his wife said as it was really her money and whether she did get the chairs is lost to history.
To you to make an offer with the next question.

Well , then you have the correct altitude, but what is so special about this mountain? Nothing to do with EWS, but more about something in a more natural entity.

Indeed so, but that is not the matter in hand.
HINT....This country has two main islands, where only one of these is involved.
