It
had to happen! On many of those long, lonely hunts which resulted in
the sad discovery that the original site had been rebuilt while the stone
containing the 'mark had apparently been discarded, Benchmarker and
M.C. often conjectured if perhaps one day they might chance upon a
'mark-stone that had been reused in a rather unusual location on the
rebuilt structure. And so it came to pass in lovely Dogheda, which
just keeps giving and giving. The 'mark is about 12ft above the
ground on the corner of the rebuilt building on Merchants' Quay at
its corner with Blind Gate.
