Page "Bredon Hill" Paragraph 3

There are also Roman earthworks and a number of ancient standing stones on the hill.

One large stone at the summit is called the Banbury Stone, deriving from ' Baenintesburg ', a name for the fort in the 8th century.

It is known colloquially as the ' Elephant Stone ' because of its resemblance to that animal.

Another pair of stones below the summit are known as the King and Queen Stones.

Local legend tells that if you pass between them you will be cured of illness.
