Hmm, there might be some problems with the first link, as it gives me a 404 error.

Thanks Pep. I’ll try and get some better shots of the henge if the weather ever improves!

I appreciate what you are doing ! I really was interested in the photo of this henge, and looked it up on Google . I hope to say more , but am glad you are workign to draw attention to areas that may be in danger of destruction.

Hi Di, thanks for visiting (both here and the monolith!).

I don’t profess to know what significance the items have, but yes they will be offerings of some kind. I can’t help but feel they are massively disrespectful – we have no idea why the monolith is there, and who or what it’s builders worshipped. Furthermore heat (even candles & tealights) does significant damage to the stones and a jam jar isn’t exactly biodegradeable either. It’s trash pure & simple, and just as bad as nailing a cross to the top of the stone.

Anytime I see stuff like this I collect and put it where it belongs – the bin.

Sorry for the rant, but this wilful littering winds me up…..

Visited Rudstone monolith today. Very impressive. I know very little about these stones. Somebody had left a candle at its base. There was also a jam jar containing a tied bunch of ivy and a piece of honeycomb. Any suggestions as to why? Small coins had also been placed into the little holes of the stone. Offerings?

I came across this site by accident whilst cycling from Glasgow to Inverness; it is a absolutely beautiful and enthralling place and felt very special. Exploring these cairns was a highlight of my trip and nowim planning on seeing more! Thanks for this website- great resource.
