TheCaptain visited on 6th Sep 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Cotswold Way walk from Chipping Campden to Broadway, making sure to have a look at the Kiftsgate Stone, which was well hidden amongst undergrowth, despite being just to the side of the road. Looked to me like it might possibly have once been part of a longbarrow chamber.
Kiftsgate "gate or gap where meetings are held". A Moot Stone.
