BENCHMARKS continued
Knowing that M.C. is planning a mission to a certain part of the Northside and concerned that he might stake a claim to a nearby region, Benchmarker quickly donned a flax-jacket and struck out across the Liffey to Clontarf. The 25'' map held the promise of seven 'marks on the mile long stretch of the Bull Wall. But optimism began to drain when the first of these and considered the banker - at the corner with Clontarf Road - could not be spotted (perhaps it sleeps behind the utility box). Plodding on across the bridge brought no luck in the search for the one that should be just to seaward. Continuing on soon brought the 2,000 Feet marker into view on the right, and though the 'mark on top is barely discernible to the eye, it cuts are easily accessible to the touch. Benchmarker was not finished yet, but more on that presently.
Below: The 'mark - at top right and not really discernible - on the 2,000 Feet Stone on the Bull Wall.
Above: Looking towards Clontarf with Bull Island Cttages to the right; on the left is the stone with the 'mark at the top to the right.
