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.
 
Above: Looking west over the Kyber Road towards the Magazine Fort and with the 'mark on the granite slab in the ground on the right.
