Blakey Topping standing stones is a small group of standing stones near the Hole of Horcum in the North York Moors [1]. It sits at the foot of Blakey Topping hill [1]. There are at least four standing stones currently surviving in this group, although some of them are of uncertain status [1]. The tallest stone is 1.9 metres high and is much-weathered and leaning [1]. A second stone is 1.0 metres high and appears to have had its top broken off [1]. A third stone is 1.3 metres high but has been roughly squared off and is currently being used as a gate post [1]. A fourth stone, 1.4 metres high, is found in an old field bank and is much-weathered and leaning [1].
