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.

NUMBER 659

BENCHMARKS continued

Like Butch and Sundance, M.C. and Benchmarker buddied up for yet another job and headed out along the trail to the north Dublin coast. First stop was at the wall that runs past the Rush Cricket Club on the Skerries Road, where both hunters were extra keen to be the one to spot the first one. With a cry of “Howzat!” M.C. pointed to the 'mark, leaving Benchmarker stumped and on the back foot (ouch!).

Below: The 'mark on the west side of the Skerries Road near Rush Cricket Club in County Dublin.
