Stone in Oxney is a village and ancient parish in the hundred of Oxney in Kent, to the south of south of Ashford. It forms part of the civil parish of Stone-cum-Ebony near Appledore.
The village is 11 miles south-east of Tenterden, and stands in a position on the eastern side of the Isle of Oxney. The stone that gives the village its name is preserved in the village church, and is of Roman origin.[1] Often thought to be an altar of Mithras, it in fact depicts Apis.[2]
The Saxon Shore Way, a long distance walking route tracing the old Saxon shoreline, passes through the parish.
