In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described May Stack like this:
MAY-STACK, a quondam natural arch on the coast of Durham; on a reef of low rocks, near the mouth of the Dene, 3 miles ENE of Castle-Eden. The top of it fell in a few years ago; and only two solitary pillars now remain.
