Beaudesert Park Standing Stone

One that I recently re-found in my photos from about 15 years ago. It's a 5/6 ft tall standing stone in the private grounds of Beaudesert Park Public School near Stroud. It looks like it may have been damaged and re-erected at some point. I used to regularly play in that area when I was kid 50 years ago (my family worked at the school) and don't remember it being there or at least standing back then, although had it been flat I probably wouldn't have noticed it.

It's roughly equidistant between the well known Minchinhampton Long Stone and the lesser known Rodborough Horestone and is a similar size and shape.

There were some smaller chunks of stone alongside that could well have broken off from the stone itself.

I don't know the current state but could probably get access fairly easily.

I haven't been able to find any reference to it online or on maps.

Note: A relatively new discovery from Simon, does anyone have any information on this stone?
