Blakey Topping standing stones
Blakey Topping standing stones is a small group of standing stones near the Hole of Horcum in the North York Moors. It sits at the foot of Blakey Topping hill.
There are at least four standing stones currently surviving in this group, although some of them are of uncertain status. The tallest stone is 1.9 metres high and is much-weathered and leaning. A second stone is 1.0 metres high and appears to have had its top broken off. A third stone is 1.3 metres high but has been roughly squared off and is currently being used as a gate post. A fourth stone, 1.4 metres high, is found in an old field bank and is much-weathered and leaning. A fifth standing stone may exist, and two or three hollows in the ground may indicate the former position of other stones.
The stones may be the remains of a stone circle of about 17 metres in diameter. Alternatively, the stones may have formed part of a curving alignment or possibly two parallel rows.

Lilla Cross
Lilla Cross is a marker on Lilla's Howe, Fylingdales Moor, in North Yorkshire, England. A story relates how King Edwin of Northumbria placed the cross there to mark the grave of Lilla, one of his thegns who saved his life during an assassination attempt. Whilst the current cross is believed to date to the 10th century, the original was placed there in 626. Even so, Lilla Cross is known for being the oldest marker of its type on the North York Moors. The ancient cross marks the intersection of pathways across the moor, the edges of four parishes and is also a waymarker on the Lyke Wake Walk.
