Standing stone, possibly remains of megalithic tomb is a prehistoric standing stone located in Magherafelt, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument belongs to the megalithic tradition of the Neolithic period and represents one of several such stones that survive in the locality. The designation as a possible tomb remnant suggests it may originally have formed part of a larger burial structure, though the full extent and original configuration of any associated monument cannot now be determined from the surviving stone alone. As with many isolated standing stones in Ireland, this example bears witness to the ritual and funerary practices of prehistoric communities and remains significant to the archaeological record of the region.
