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.

NUMBERS 201 - 210

BENCHMARKS continued

Earlier this year, a long time ago now, just before the Summer that never was, M.C. supplied a computer disc containing images of several 'marks. Only now is it being mined for treasure. Within, amongst others, are ten 'marks from Leinster Road in Dublin City. They are somewhat unusual in that they are in extremely close proximity to each other. Perhaps only one or two of them is a true benchmark but the others are none the less interesting by virtue of their sheer number in such a small area.

Below: The 'marks outside No 54 Leinster Road and the house itself. The true 'mark at right is a good example of a 'flatie'.
Below: No 55.
Below: No 57.
Below: No 58.
Below: No 59.
Below: No 60.
Below: No 64.
