NUMBER 86

BENCHMARKS continued
This one is on a mile-marker on the right hand side of the road from Slane to Ashbourne in Co Meath. Benchmarker is unsure of the name of the townland in which it is located but will add this information when it comes to hand; and also has no idea of what or where are the destinations indicated by the numbers.
