Here's one I made earlier:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6960819404

I went with "tourism=information; information=stone" to parallel 
"information=guidepost" and "information=route_marker" which are more 
commonly used as route markers.

Another example (tagged slightly differently, that probably wouldn't 
work for the Cotswold Way one) is:

Another one (not part of a route this time) is

That one is a stone flush with the pavement nd sounds a bit like yours 
but perhaps a bit more arty.

Best Regards,
