The great days of the benchmark hunts may have drawn to a close, but Benchmarker still likes to travel prepared should an eventuality present itself. And so it was when visiting North Donegal recently on a different type of quest. And there the village of Ramelton has seen better times. These days when one contemplates the remains of what were once admirable buildings, sadly it's a somewhat pitiful sight. Bagging this one offered no consolation as Benchmarker and companion departed with a heavy heart.
