No one really knows how it was named - possibly it resembles a hawk (?) or it is derived from the old English word 'hoare' meaning old or ancient, but it is all guesswork. Local legend has it that witches were chained to the holes in the top and burned to death but there is no evidence of this.
Do not put coins in the natural pitts in the stone it increases erosion and damages the stone.

Dean Hamlet, Cotswolds

Highlight • Natural

The pretty hamlet of Dean in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds is a great place from which to explore the surrounding countryside, once the site of the Royal Wychwood Forest.

There's plenty to interest history buffs. The Hawk Stone, a Neolithic standing stone, is half a mile (800 m) to the north, whilst in the centre of the hamlet is a Medieval preaching cross There is some delightful walking in the woodland to the east of the hamlet.
