Two standing stones north-west of Four Stones Hill is a prehistoric monument located in Westmorland, England. The site consists of two upright stones of uncertain date, though they likely belong to the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric period, when standing stones were erected across northern England for purposes that may have included ritual, territorial, or burial functions. The precise historical significance of this particular pair of stones remains difficult to establish without detailed archaeological investigation, though their survival indicates their importance to the prehistoric communities of the upland regions of the Lake District. As with many dispersed standing stones in this landscape, their original context and associated monuments may have been lost or remain archaeologically invisible.
