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 674

BENCHMARKS continued



After the Summer hiatus, Benchmarker stirs from his slumbers and posts anew. Most of the 'marks that will follow here were recorded in conjunction with M.C. a long, long time ago in a land far, far away i.e. back in June in County Meath. First up is this one on the east side of the bridge over the River Nanny in Julianstown.
