| Record Name | Standing stone |
| Record Description | A large standing stone, with small stones at the base and possible linked to a nearby enclosure and to further smaller standing stones.
This stone stands within the unsurveyed coaxial field system and bronze age cairnfield and settlement of Ellerton Moor. It is hoped that a survey of the complex prehehistoric landscape on Ellerton Moor will be done and that may show this stone predates the coaxial field system appearing to be aligned on it. |
| Dimensions | 1m 25cm x 1m x 70cm. |

| Image 2 Description | This picture - looking S - is to show the link of stones between the standing stone and the large enclosure whose NE corner is 4mtrs from the stone in a SW direction and about 1mtr higher than the ground around the stone. Unfortunately much of the link is hidden beneath the heather, but enough can be glimpsed to understand the situation. See record 822 for details of the enclosure itself. |  |
