MenuKiftsgate Stone, Gloucestershire
Kiftsgate Stone is a prehistoric standing stone near Chipping Camden, Gloucestershire. The name ‘Kifts’ is thought to be derived from the Old English ‘cyft’ meaning ‘meeting or conference’. ‘Kiftsgate’ would imply this was a gap or gateway where meetings were held, suggesting that this the moot for the hundred of Kiftsgate. The prehistoric origin of the standing stone is not certain but its re-use as the moot strongly implies the possibility since it would have been a well known landmark. It is within the council area of Cotswold (Gloucestershire).
