Funnily enough, June, your post made me think of something I read recently. "An old woman in the village informed Mr. Allen, who published his History of Yorkshire in 1829, that she could remember the remains of a similar block of stone, which was situated some yards to the east of the present obelisk."

That could be sheer piffle though.

That's from a footnote in this

but it's not in Mr Allen's book though, at least that I can find.

You'd think a second stone would stick in folklore. But maybe people actually have short memories. But wouldn't it be written down somewhere? Or the place even be called Rud stones?!
