BENCHMARKS continued

What appears to have happened here, at the entrance to a car park on the Mall in Sligo Town, is that this gate pillar was rebuilt at some stage using the original stones. The result: the stone with the 'mark was replaced in an upside down position, and so low down so that just the legs of the crow's foot appear to view now.
