NUMBER 1,038

BENCHMARKS continued

This one from M.C. is described as “just south of Camolin, County Wexford on the N11”. More specifically it's just a little way southwest of Bay Bridge and there is a rather pleasant little eatery there. It's on the corner of an old stone building at the eatery.

Below: A 'mark on the N11 in County Wexford.
 
Above: Looking northeast at the old stone building. The 'mark is at bottom left.

NUMBER 880

BENCHMARKS continued



Although subjected to persistent harangues that included threats of legal action, and exposed to the dangers of fast motorised traffic, while all the time trying to navigate through an almost impenetrable undergrowth, nevertheless M.C. and Benchmarker stuck to their mission and eventually uncovered this one on UBR269 on the R772 just a little north of Inch Station in County Wexford.
