What is recorded here
The Obelisk stands at Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, a sharp stone finger piercing the low sky. It marks human pride and memory on open land, inviting wonder rather than explanation. People may have built it to be seen from a distance, to point upward when every other local line stays flat.
The Obelisk - Castle Howard is shown as a monument on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
