The intention with this website is to locate at least 1,001 benchmark sites, or die in the attempt (no flowers please, house private). Photos of any benchmark sites found will be posted at intervals over the coming days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries ... Anyone who wishes to contribute can send photos and descriptions of any benchmarks they find and would like to have included here, to mfbourke@gmail.com See post Number 1 for a fuller description.

This
one from M.C. is at the junction of River Lane and Main Street,
Arklow, County Wicklow. It's on one of those types of bollards that protected the corner walls of buildings from being
damaged by the wheels of heavy carts turning into or out of narrow junctions or entrance ways.
