About: Noon's Hole

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Noon's Hole (Irish grid ref H12684431) lies about 5 km northwest of the centre of Boho, in the townland of Old Barr in the parish of Devenish, County Fermanagh, close to the border with Boho parish. The cave is under part of the escarpment on the east side of the Glenade Sandstone uplands. At 81 m (266 ft), this pothole was thought to have the deepest shaft in Ireland, but this honour was passed to the nearby , which contains an entrance shaft of 88 m (289 ft).

Ordnance Survey maps still use both names. (en)
