NUMBER 1,013

BENCHMARKS continued

Benchmarker chanced upon this one, on the wall of the Phoenix Park, while frustratingly pacing the road when waiting for a bus near the Islandbridge Gate on Conyngham Road in Dublin City. The 25” map does not record it; however just across the road there is one shown on a terrace that is now long gone.
