I've never heard of this being referred to as Queen Bodicea obelisk. I have always known it as the Royal Observatory obelisk, created as a referral point for the Greenwich 0 (zero) deg line of longitude which it is placed on. The area close by on top of Pole Hill was private land once owned by Lawrence of Arabia and in my youth it had a range of fruit trees - pears, crab apples etc which we utilised to full effect - the land was incorporated into Epping Forest at Lawrence's bequest
