NUMBER 1,013

BENCHMARKS continued

Benchmarker chanced upon this one, on the wall of the Phoenix Park, while frustratingly pacing the road when waiting for a bus near the Islandbridge Gate on Conyngham Road in Dublin City. The 25” map does not record it; however just across the road there is one shown on a terrace that is now long gone.

NUMBER 590

BENCHMARKS continued

It was back to his old stomping ground for M.C. for this one. It's on the south side of Conyngham Road in Dublin City, on the wall overlooking the railway line that tunnels under the Phoenix Park connecting Heuston Station with Connolly.

Another beaut' of a stoney on the wall of the Phoenix Park on Conyngham Road in Dublin, and just a hop, step and jump from the steps leading up to the park and facing the terminus of the South Circular Road.
