Intriguing, is perhaps the best word to describe this benchmark located at the bottom of Leinster Road in Dublin. It appears to have been carved into the pebble-dash rendering on the pillar on which it is located. Could this be so, and why was it decided? And if so, why did the rendering not disintegrate at the time or sometime since? Intriguing indeed.
Below: The 'mark on Leinster Road. Note the rendering which shows signs of disintegrating at the base of the pillar.
Above: The east end of Leinster Road in Dublin with the 'mark on the pillar at left near the pedestrians.
