Template:Megalith[edit]

I've created a new template for megalithic sites, Template:Megalith, as used on Pikestones and Round Loaf. Some instructions on the template talk page, to show how to use it. Cheers! --PopUpPirate 13:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the template and left the type as Megalith as per the article, but the entry on the Megalithic Portal says it is a Menhir. Someone who has some knowledge of the subject may like to modify as appropriate. Keith D 15:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Devil's Work?[edit]

I'm really surprised that there's no mention of the legend that the Devil through this stone at the church, but missed! I know it isn't exactly scientific, but I'd like to see something about it! Any thoughts? --LookingYourBest (talk) 20:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After an extensive six year search, I've come up with a reference for the above, so I'm going to write a sentence or two about the devil chucking rocks at stuff also it seems that someone was upset with the idea of a wind turbine being built nearby. Unsure if this should go in this article, or the one on Rudston? LookingYourBest (talk) 14:20, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, plans for the turbine were withdrawn, so that's a no-go! LookingYourBest (talk) 14:24, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I hope your attempt at writing a sentence or two about the Devil legend is going well. Don't rush it though, take as many years as you need! Pasicles (talk) 22:18, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Norse for Red[edit]

The name rud comes from the Norse for Red (and become rudd) and is actually pronounced Rookg rather then rudd. The name Rudd (or Red) in the lineage of "Eric the Red" the Viking Warrior that was famed with discovering Iceland. Descendant of Eric the Red, invaded Scotland and England during Viking raids, but some settled and the name spread to Wales and Ireland too, other spread through Europe. It is said that the Rudd descendants to spread from a place called rudston in Yorkshire, where out side of a village of rudston lies a Monolith that is meant to mark the meeting place of the Rudd’s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.5.1 (talk) 12:30, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Moved from article for user

Is their any evidence that the church might have been built from the now absent stones which undoubtedly formed a circle here ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.50.250 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
