A large stone or boundary marker traditionally used in English landscapes, or a type of stone used in building foundations.
Compound of 'buck' (a ridge or projection) and 'stone.' The term appears in place names and historical records, particularly in English regional dialects referring to geological features or landmark stones.
Buckstones often marked ancient property boundaries and still do in some English villages—they're so old that no one remembers who placed them, but they've remained immovable witnesses to centuries of English life.
