Rudston Monolith: Britain's Tallest Standing Stone & the 'Gypsey Race' | Megalithomania

Rudston Monolith is the tallest standing stone in Britain. At 26 ft tall, it is nearly as high as the church it stands next to in the area of East Riding, Yorkshire. Early reports suggest it is about the same length underground, and was somehow transported from a coastal area about ten miles away. It marks the centre of a series of cursuses, large mounds and a river called the 'Gypsey Race'. It is even said to have a dinosaur footprint on it! In nearby Bridlington a carved stone sphere was unearthed, the most southerly of the 'geometric spheres' discovered mainly in Scotland. See video about those here:

Bridlington is a coastal town and civil parish on the Holderness Coast of the North Sea, situated in the unitary authority and ceremonial county of the East Riding of Yorkshire approximately 24 miles north of Hull. The Gypsey Race river runs through the town and emerges into the North Sea in the town harbour.

Bridlington is a minor sea fishing port with a working harbour and is well known for its shellfish. Bridlington has a mix of small businesses across the manufacturing, retail and service sectors with its prime trade being tourism during the summer months.

The origins of the town of Bridlington are uncertain, but archaeological evidence shows habitation in the Bronze Age and in Roman times. The settlement at the Norman conquest was called Bretlinton, but has also gone by the names of Berlington, Brellington and Britlington, before settling on its modern name in the 19th century.

The town of Bridlington is twinned with Millau in France and Bad Salzuflen in Germany. One of the UK's coastal weather stations is located at Bridlington.

Quicktrip Rudston Monolith

Hello again you marvellous carbon based life forms.

Team Deadbeats present another little mini road trip journey we call Quicktrip. This time we decided to take a few hours and journey east to a small village called Rudston which is home to a monolith that was estimated to be erected in 2000 bc/bce.

This was a little spooky as a local church now shares the site with what might've been an old pagan ritual/worship area.

This was a great day for a trip out and we hope you like it that much you'll visit Rudston yourself and see it for your own eyes.

Please do whatever everyone else is telling you to do on videos these days (like and share and stuff!). We're trying to get more videos out and trying to get better at making these things, so subscribe and you'll get all the latest stuff form our weird heads!

You can also watch the full car journey in time-lapse format featuring a killer track from Peter Drew!
