NUMBER 493

BENCHMARKS continued

This one from M.C. is on an old farm building just off the N81 a.k.a the Blessington Road, near the northern tip of the reservoir at Raheen in County Dublin.

Below: The 'mark on the Blessington Road at Raheen, County Dublin. Look closely; it is at bottom right on the wall.
 
 Above: A view of the building holding the 'mark. It is out of sight on the wall just behind the gate. At 782.1 feet, this is the highest yet. But for how long?
