As per advice it represents the conciliation cross that used to stand northwest of Lhota village on the outskirts of a forest covering Žilinsky Hill.

Most likely near defunct route from Bratronice to Žilina and further to Tuchlovice, i.e. within the territory marked with similar stones.
Procházela tudy středověká stezka ze Smečna do Nižbora. The road was paved by stones putted down. It is boardered by avenue which was planted in 19.th century. It is formed by 400 pieces of horse-chestnut. That is why it is said "Kaštanka".
In year 1998 was proclaimed UNESCO protected locality.

I assume it is a milestone rather than a conciliation cross. The same ill-luck like with not a few of these stones had almost affected this stone as well, it was backfilled with black waste landfill where it was slowly beginning to disappear. Recently however, due to the endeavour of village mayor, the stone has been moved to a much more dignified location inside a rather small but neatly maintained local park.
This sandstone prism is 94 cm high, 72 cm wide and 27 cm thick.
Its one side has a clearly visible cross engraving, maybe Greek one.
