Destroyed Standing Stone (Menhir) in Oxfordshire

There is reference in Percy Manning's records of 'The Cuddesdon Stones'. Correspondence between him and Angus Graham mentions a map and instructions how to find them. There is also a drawing of 'The Lower Stone' and a black and white photograph of 'The Upper Stone'. The stones are annotated on the Ashmolean's copy of the Ordnance Survey map of 1889. However, so far these are the only documentary references to the stones. The Sites and Monuments Record at County Archaeology have no information in their records. Local inhabitants have stated that the stones were removed sometime in the 1980s. No trace of them has been found at the present time.
