The stone is a sarsen stone, I believe, as are the much larger examples at Avebury. There is no plaque to give any information about it although carved into it is what looks like a dagger and the numbers '1075-1975', which presumably are dates. The village was mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086 so possibly 1075 represents the first time any mention was ever made of it. The base is getting a bit tatty and could usefully be repaired.
