Two fallen standing stones east of Hangershell Rock is a Bronze Age monument located in Devon, England. The stones form part of the broader landscape of prehistoric ritual and ceremonial activity characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when standing stones and stone alignments were erected across the southwestern peninsula. The monument's exact original function remains consistent with interpretations of similar contemporary stone arrangements, which likely served purposes connected to territorial markers, gathering places, or ritual observance. The fallen condition of the stones reflects the natural processes of weathering and geological movement that have affected many upstanding monuments of this age across the Devonian landscape.
