The name comes from their carved depictions of flying deer. There are many theories to the reasons behind their existence and the people who made them.

Famous quotes containing the words deer and/or stone:
“Shall the dog lie where the deer once crouched?”
—Nell Gwynn (c. 1650–1687)
“You cannot go into any field or wood, but it will seem as if every stone had been turned, and the bark on every tree ripped up. But, after all, it is much easier to discover than to see when the cover is off. It has been well said that “the attitude of inspection is prone.” Wisdom does not inspect, but behold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
