For #standingstonesunday - the Rudston Monolith. Over 25 feet, gritstone, tallest monolith in the UK. It's in Rudston churchyard near Bridlington Yorkshire (we're staying nearby). Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age.

The central panel from the Rudston Venus Mosaic depicting the goddess Venus and a merman. Dating to the 3rd century AD, the mosaic comes from a Roman villa near Rudston in East Yorkshire. The mosaic is now part of the collections at Hull and East Riding Museum. #MosaicMonday

I was back doing some fieldwork at one of my favourite Neolithic monuments yesterday. The neck-craning, almost 8m Rudston Monolith, a great, grey Yorkshire leviathan. The warden of the Wolds. No other standing stone in the UK beats it in sheer stature.
