Maybe Mr Allen had the same trouble estimating the height of the stone as you did?! I know when we visited it was a job of standing someone at the bottom and trying to estimate person-heights-worth. It's bloody impressive isn't it. And very surprising to turn the corner of the church and see.

Try this link Rhiannon - https://archive.org/stream/anewandcomplete00hollgoog#page/n139/ The 9/ at the end should take you to page 90 which is the page following the illustration. I thought the book was A new and complete history of the county of York' by Thomas Allen, v4, 1831 but maybe I’m getting mixed up. The first paragraph continues to discuss the dimensions of the Monolith and the footnote is at the very bottom of page 90.
