What is recorded here
Two standing stones in Saval More, County Down, may be the remains of a prehistoric tomb. They are scheduled and uncertain in age, but the stones still mark the earth where people once buried or honoured the dead. The exact purpose has faded, yet the pair still stands as a quiet challenge to forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO STANDING STONES; possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Possibly a megalithic tomb dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its potential as a ceremonial or funerary monument, though its exact function remains uncertain.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
