Shitterton wiki

The unusual name of the hamlet dates back at least 1,000 years to Anglo-Saxon times. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Scatera or Scetra, a Norman French rendering of an Old English name derived from the word scite, meaning dung. This word became schitte in Middle English and shit in modern English.[4] The name alludes to the stream that bisects the hamlet, which appears to have been called the Shiter or Shitter, or "brook used as a privy".[5] The place-name therefore means something along the lines of "farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer".

Bonus:

Penistone wiki

The place-name Penistone is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Pengeston(e) and Pangeston; later sources record it as Peningston.[2] It may mean "the farmstead at the hill called Penning", in reference to the high ridge immediately south of the town. This combines the Brittonic word penn (meaning a head, end, or height) with the Old English suffix ing and the word tun (meaning a farmstead or village).[3]

Penistone has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place-names because it contains the letter sequence "penis";[4][5] however, those initial five letters are not pronounced like the name of the body part.

Last I was there, the sign for "Shag Point" in NZ was a milled slab of 2" plate steel bolted to a 50 ton boulder.

@nynex Oh it gets so much worse. Or better?

The stream that runs through Shitterton is called the Shitter, because apparently people used to use it as a, well, a shitter. And in case you're wondering whether that whole region is just all toilet humor, you'll be delighted to learn that the Shitter flows into the River Piddle.

Well played, Dorset. Well played.

Fucking in Austria had the same issue

I drive past this every time I visit my mum. There's a Pokémon go gym on the rock.

If the context lost to history, future archaeologist will have to learn about those shitterton engravings.

Okay, crazy idea, instead od stealing the shitterton rock, you make everyone think you stole the shitterton rock by covering it with a fiberglass shell made to look like a slightly larger rock making it look like the rock was replaced with a non shitterton rock. This sounds like a Max Fosh video

How about a direct flight from PNS to CLT?
