The stone lies within 100 yards or so of the River Gade which runs nearby - possibly indicating a safe river crossing place? The river certainly widens here which slows the flow...
This stone, unlike others I have seen, shows signs of having been polished, as the upper surface is smooth, showing the make-up of the puddingstone to good effect.
