What is recorded here

Knocknamona held a standing stone tall enough to touch but broad enough to embrace, marking Miss Turner's land before the boundary vanished. Whether people tied ribbons to it, leaned against it during storms, or simply pointed children toward it as proof that Cork remembers its own shape, the stone gave the village a visible anchor. It is gone now, yet the act of measurement preserves more than any forgotten marble hall because someone bothered to write down its height and girth.

Bowman (1934, 592) recorded stone on Miss Turner's land, '...4ft 9in by 6ft 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
