Dr Rudge was wrong, this isn't the only conglomerate boulder in the area.

The 'Memoirs of the Geological Survey', as far back as 1862, recorded that "some masses of pudding-stone have been before noted as occurring at Standen Farm".
In 1873, the Marlborough College Natural History Society stated that at Standen, "the pebble-beds contain masses of 'Pudding-stone'." And 'The Geology of Hungerford & Newbury' in 1891 said that "In a field south of North Standen Farm there are some large blocks of pudding-stone, which seem to be in place, and are perhaps hardened masses of the pebble-beds of this formation".
