The Rudston Monolith is an impressive standing stone found in a churchyard in Rudston village. Towering at 25 feet (7.6 m), it is the highest standing stone in the UK. The stone is shrouded in mystery. It probably dates back to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period (2500 - 800 BC), although the exact date is unknown. Some people believe that there is a dinosaur footprint on one of its sides.

The monolith is situated in the church yard and is easily visible from the road.

The monolith is 8 metres high, nearly 2 metres wide and a metre thick. The nearest source for the stone is 10 miles away in the Cayton Bay area. It is unclear if the stone was moved by man or by glacial transport.
