Standing stone is a prehistoric standing stone located in County Down, Northern Ireland. The monument belongs to the broader tradition of megalithic stone erection that characterised the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Ireland, though the precise chronology of this particular example requires further archaeological investigation. As with many standing stones in Ulster, it likely served ceremonial, territorial, or commemorative functions within prehistoric communities. The stone remains a significant element of the prehistoric landscape archaeology of County Down and contributes to understanding the distribution and character of megalithic monuments across the region.
