I think you will have heard of it. Another clue - I involves throwing something into the box from in front of the other one.

Hooray for the Cypriot Quiz Queen (King didn't fit).
It is indeed the ancient game of quoits which is very popular in parts of Yorkshire, Northumberland and Welsh Wales. It involves lobbing metal rings across the pit to get them as close to a metal peg as possible. They try to land them end on into the surrounding clay to stop their opponents knocking theirs out of the pit. This is an unusual Quoits Pit (yes that is the proper name) as the boxes are raised up off the ground, this is to keep the clay damp.
