Rudston Monolith UK Tallest Megalith

5 ай бұрынStanding 7.6m high this standing stone is the tallest megalithic stone in the UK, hence its name ! Probably of Pagan origin and is made of Grit Stone, weighs about 40 metric Tonnes and is from approx 1600bc. The Stone is thought to of come from the coast somewhere near to Scarborough. Some accounts suggest it maybe planted as deep as it is high ! One huge stone whatever depth its at especially from ancient people without the technology we have , and a credit to those who erected it that it has stood (!) the test of time.
Situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire northeast of Driffield in the graveyard of All Saints Church, near Bridlington, it makes a worthy stop off if driving by , as does the medieval deserted village of Wharram Percy not so far away.

The Monolith looks so out of place next to the church, at one point in time there must have been more, great find interesting to see 👍👍

Cheers Steve, I did read that there is a smaller stone (less than 1m tall) on the periphery of the church somewhere but couldn't find it. I feel it's the typical situation of Christianity wiping out pagan culture by building their new places of worship, by force on existing pagan monuments or getting areas, and without much thought for pleasing athletics either 🤔
