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.

NUMBER 634

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C. is of a mind that this one has been moved a little bit from its original position. And looking at the brickwork of the wall on which it is positioned, it appears it is the casualty of repairs and he is correct. It is located on the east side of the bridge in Celbridge, County Kildare.
