Standing stone in Nohaval Upper

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Six stones stood scattered through Nohaval Upper when Bowman recorded them in 1934. The smallest belonged to H. Twomey, rising only two feet yet swelling to nearly twelve feet around. That much thickness in so little height suggests a buried body or a deliberate squat form. The exact spot has slipped from memory, but the stone likely still waits under grass, hedgerow or forgotten field edge.
One of six stones (10136, 10137, 10138, 10139, 10140) recorded by Bowman (1934, 660) in this townland; '(f) In H. Twomey's. 2ft high, 11ft 11in girth'. Exact location not known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
