While Marion Benham posted a similar stone on the Glastonbury Tor site page some time ago, and it had the same kind of metal insert with sweeping arches (like those inside Wells Cathedral) and a little bell - which I'd not noticed while taking the photos!) She described that one as a millennium stone, one of a few scattered around in Somerset.
It looked good in the early evening sunshine. Just up the road, to the approx west, was a large old barn (the Bishops or Abbots Tithe Barn?)
