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.

NUMBER 109

BENCHMARKS continued

The third of three from Mr M.C. Now you might think there would be a Limerick, or even a pun, about the little town of Adare in Co Limerick. But if there is then Benchmarker has not come across any. Where is D.A.O'H. when you need him?

Below: The 'mark in Adare, Co Limerick.

Above: The 'mark is on the gate-pillar just to the right of the 'think safety' placard.

NUMBER 108

BENCHMARKS continued
 
The second of the three from Mr M.C. It's on a bridge over the River Arra in the centre of the small hamlet of Newcastle West in Co Limerick. Someone has daubed it with green paint; perhaps B.B. is on the prowl?

Above. The 'mark is near the top centre of the bridge wall, just to the left of the lamp standard.
