Limestone you say, not much experience of it myself but it does weather quickly so i'd expect lots of rilling on the top, if indeed limestone acts in a similar way to other stone i do have experience of. One of the reasons (I'm sure there are lots of others) The Cotswolds lack standing stones generally is that limestone isn't very hard-wearing. If you go to any graveyards with limestone gravestones from the 18th/19th century, they're usually really badly eroded. Rhiannon, is this near Monkton Farleigh? The grid ref looks like the middle of some kind of tree-lined avenue connected to the manor, but that doesn't really match your pics...
