The intention with this website is to locate at least 1,001 benchmark sites, or die in the attempt (no flowers please, house private). Photos of any benchmark sites found will be posted at intervals over the coming days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries ... Anyone who wishes to contribute can send photos and descriptions of any benchmarks they find and would like to have included here, to mfbourke@gmail.com See post Number 1 for a fuller description.

NUMBER 11

BENCHMARKS continued

This one is located at the base of the southernmost railings pillar at the front of Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin City. This location demonstrates one way in which 'marks are gradually being lost; the level of the pavement here seems to have risen over time, and if the rate continues then this 'mark will probably be buried in 150 years or so.

Above: St Patrick's Cathedral. The 'mark is located at the base of the railings pillar at centre bottom.
