Sacred stone, spring or grove
Ukukivi
Near Ruila in Harjumaa stands the largest sacrificial stone known in Estonia, the Ukukivi, named after Uku, the old Estonian sky god. It measures about 34.5 metres around and some six metres high, and on its surface is a ground hollow about half a metre across and 25 centimetres deep, the kind of cup where offerings were laid. Estonia has at least six stones named after Uku; the most famous besides this one stood in the sacred grove of Kalina in Virumaa, where three men buried it to save it from zealous Moravian Brethren.

Harjumaal Ruila lähedal seisab Eesti suurim teadaolev ohvrikivi Ukukivi, mis on saanud nime vana eesti taevajumala Uku järgi. Kivi ümbermõõt on umbes 34,5 meetrit ja kõrgus ligi kuus meetrit ning selle pinnal on umbes poole meetri laiune ja 25 sentimeetri sügavune lohk – just sellistesse lohkudesse pandi ohvriande. Eestis on vähemalt kuus Uku nime kandvat kivi; peale selle on tuntuim Virumaal Kalina hiies olnud kivi, mille kolm meest matsid maha, et päästa see vennastekoguduse innukate liikmete eest.
