Marked on OS maps the Long Stone on Middle Rigg, Easington High Moor is a prehistoric standing stone (Elgee, Early Man in North East Yorkshire, page 106). It stands just to the north of the pit alignment on Middle Rigg and looks to be over 10 feet tall. It probably marked an ancient tribal boundary and is still used as such today marking the boundary between the urban authorities of Redcar & Cleveland and Scarborough District.
