Two standing stones, possibly megalithic tomb, is a prehistoric standing stone monument located in County Down, Northern Ireland. The site comprises two upright stones whose original function remains uncertain, though the designation suggests a possible association with megalithic funerary practice characteristic of the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods in Ireland. The stones survive as substantial upright blocks, preserving evidence of what may have been a chambered or passage tomb structure, though the monument's fragmentary condition limits definitive interpretation of its original architectural form.
