Kiftsgate Stone is a prehistoric standing stone located near Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, England. The monument consists of a single upright stone of considerable size, typical of Bronze Age or earlier megalithic traditions, though its precise dating remains uncertain due to the absence of associated archaeological deposits or documentary records. The stone stands in a prominent landscape position and has been a notable local landmark for centuries, referenced in historical boundary descriptions and medieval documentation. Its original function, whether as a territorial marker, ceremonial site, or waystone, cannot be definitively established from available evidence, though it represents an important example of prehistoric stone monuments in the Cotswold region.
