Seems to have been removed, if the Google Streetview of the place (2022) is any guide?

The Original Ley Hunter, Alfred Watkins, memorialized by Andy B on Monday, 07 September 2015
(User Info | Send a Message)
Their existence may be accepted as received wisdom by those who want to believe, or rejected out of hand by those who demand evidence, but the concept of ley-lines, or, as its originator Alfred Watkins called them, leys, has nevertheless found a place in popular consciousness.

The latest episode in the fascinating history of ley hunting was the unveiling of a memorial stone dedicated to Watkins (1855-1935) by members of the Society of Ley Hunters at their spring moot in June, on the site at which Watkins conceived of the existence of leys.

Commemorative stone to Alfred Watkins unveiled by the Society of Ley Hunters by Andy B on Tuesday, 16 June 2015
(User Info | Send a Message)
The Society of Ley Hunters recently held their summer Moot. They walked part of the first ley, from the edge of Risbury Hill fort to Blackwardine crossroads for the unveiling ceremony of their commemorative stone to Alfred Watkins, who is best remembered as the discoverer and populariser of ley alignments. His revelation took place at this crossroads in June 1921.
