Description: The Gypsey Race, Rudston, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The Gypsey Race near the corner of Middle Street and Marton Lane, Rudston. This intermittent and irregular watercourse is believed to be affected by a siphoning action in underground reservoirs and can come into flood apparently regardless of recent rainfall in the local vicinity. This seemingly magical property is thought to be responsible for the number of significant neolithic sites along its course, including the Rudston monolith and the ancient burial mound of Duggleby Howe.
