Elloe Stone is a prehistoric standing stone located in the Fenland region of Lincolnshire. The monument consists of a substantial block of granite, which is notably foreign to the local geology and must have been transported to the site in antiquity. It is likely to date from the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, though precise dating remains uncertain. The stone stands as evidence of early ritual or ceremonial activity in the Fenlands, an area that has yielded relatively few prehistoric monuments of this type.
