Hi
I've a carved stone plaque(?) that's fixed flush into the pavement. it's to
indicate the start/finish point of a long distance walk.

Two questions:
1 Is plaque the best name? Our Wiki quotes Wikipedia as it being vertical,
but that seems a bit restrictive to me.

It seems to be a sort of waymark to me. As far as I can see, we don't
have a generic tag for waymarks, although there are lots of special
cases like milestons. Perhaps we should have a waymark tag with subtags
for material and orientation?
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:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1651183163
Another one (not part of a route this time) is
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6785704793
That one is a stone flush with the pavement nd sounds a bit like yours
but perhaps a bit more arty.
Best Regards,
Andy
