A few years ago, while on a hunt, M.C. and Benchmarker scoured practically the full length of the Old Bray Road in an attempt to locate this one. It should have been easy; according to the map it was on the still surviving wall along the south side of the road at Cornelscourt, practically opposite the eponymous Shopping Centre. But, it was all in vain. The conclusion was therefore that it no longer existed. And then years later Michael Byrne came along and spotted it and kindly emailed his find. M.C. and Benchmarker can only marvel and lift their hats to a superb benchmark hunter.

NUMBER 796

BENCHMARKS continued

Another one from the camera of Michael Byrne and it too was spotted while on a ramble on the Cliff Walk from Bray. It's located about 20 minutes into the walk so perhaps that would make it about a mile south of the start of the walk; or for our continental visitors, about 1.5 kilometres.

Below: A 'mark about 20 minutes walk along the Cliff Walk from where it commences at Bray in County Wicklow.

With its russet and amber tones and the sparkling azure sea below, it could be a view of Amalfi; or even Fuenteventura or maybe Zakinthos; or perhaps Torrevieja. (No - on second thoughts - perhaps not Torreieja.) Where it actually is, is Bray. Yes, Bray. And it was there on the Cliff Walk that heads out of the town and goes south to Greystones, that Michael Byrne spotted this fine one while on a ramble.

NUMBER 794

BENCHMARKS continued

This one in the Phoenix Park in Dublin is to the east side of the Kyber Road near the junction with the Military Road. There is an indication that it has been moved there from another location as it appears to have been plastered over at some stage, although only the central leg now indicates this. Alternatively, it may in fact be the 'mark shown close to this location on the 6” maps.

Below: The 'mark near the south end of the Kyber Road in the Phoenix Park.
