A boundary stone or marker placed at a corner or crossroads, sometimes decorated or inscribed to mark property lines or jurisdictional boundaries.
From 'crow' (possibly referring to the bird as a marker or from Old Norse 'króka' for corner) and 'stone'. Medieval communities used distinctive stones to mark territories and meeting points.
These forgotten stones are scattered across the British countryside and Northern Europe—literal archaeological markers of ancient property disputes, hidden in plain sight along country lanes.
