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 673

BENCHMARKS continued

A short way out of town where Lower Main Street of Letterkenny, County Donegal becomes the R250, is this one - a pleasing flatie - on a boulder that is incorporated into the wall of a stone-built building.

NUMBER 672

BENCHMARKS continued



This one is on the north side of that section of the Port Road that runs from the Station Roundabout up to the Main Street, in Letterkenny, County Donegal. The OSI (Ordance Survey of Ireland) maps, name this section as Ramelton Road. But nobody in Letterkenny calls it that and neither does Google Maps.
