The Rudston Monolith, East Yorkshire, last weekend. It’s really quite large. Visit it if you ever get the chance, photos don’t do it justice. #StandingStoneSunday #RudstonMonolith #EastYorkshire #Yorkshire @stoneclub.bsky.social @megalithic.bsky.social

Police telephone box & gull, Scarborough, N. Yorkshire. Grade 2 listed, c.1920. Thought it would be bigger inside tbh. #Scarborough #PoliceBox #IndustrialArchaeology #Yorkshire #Tardis

Little Meg, near Glassonby, Cumbria. A small circle, 650m NE of Long Meg, formed by a ring of kerb stones (the remnants of a destroyed burial cairn) one of which shows a spiral motif and concentric circle. 🌀 #StandingStoneSunday #LittleMeg #Cumbria @stoneclub.bsky.social @megalithic.bsky.social

A Beltane visit to Long Meg and her Daughters. Long Meg has it all, a red sandstone monolith with rock art next to a huge stone circle of 69 stones. Remains of a cursus and ditched enclosure have also been found. 👌 #StandingStoneSunday #LongMeg #Cumbria @stoneclub.bsky.social @megalithic.bsky.social

Denge sound (acoustic) mirrors. Built in the late 1920s/early 1930s as an experimental early warning system for incoming aircraft but as aircraft speed increased they were superseded by radar. The largest circular dish measures 9m across. #ScheduledMonument #MilitaryHistory #History #Kent #Dungeness
