This is the oldest highway stone in Oxfordshire, and also one of the oldest in the country.
It is on the south-west side of Rose Hill, at the north-east corner of the boundary wall of Denton House (opposite Church Cowley Road).
This is part of the road from Oxford to London via Henley. Originally this road branched off Cowley Road near the present Circus Street to reach what is now the Iffley Road, but was later extended to the Plain.
