This appears to be a previously unrecorded standing stone in a field beyond Littledean Gaol, Gloucestershire. This stone is very regular in shape with a sloping top of 22 degrees and about 1.4m (4 feet 6 inches) tall. It looks to be made of a red sandstone.
On the horizon, less than 1km to the SE (143 degrees) is Littledean Camp - a scheduled monument (earthworks) at SO 67644 13509.
