A stone or rock formation, possibly one shaped like or associated with roosters, or a stone used in certain games or folklore.
From 'cock' (rooster) + 'stone' (rock). The exact origin is unclear, but likely refers to a distinctive stone marking or formation in a particular location.
Cockstone appears in old English place names and folklore, but its exact meaning has been lost—it might refer to a stone shaped like a rooster's head, or one that marked a roosting area, showing how place names preserve forgotten meanings.
