More information : (SP 29372568) Stone (NAT) (1)
'Churchill Stone', stands in the hedge on the NW side of the
road, and is about 4 ft high. Nothing is known about it, but it
seems not unlikely that it may be of considerable antiquity. (2)
The 'Churchill Stone' (name not used locally), stands upright
on the N side of the Chipping Norton to Churchill road which runs
nearly half-way down a gently NNW facing slope, and not in a
prominent position. It is a very weathered oolitic block, on
average 0.5m by 0.3m and 1.5m high. There are no traces of
tool-marks on the surface. It is not in association with any
known prehistoric site, neither can its relationship to the road
be determined. The stone does not seem to be associated with any
local tradition or folklore; its antiquity is unproven.
