BENCHMARKS continued
Another one from Michael Byrne. From the Glenageary area
of Dublin, it is on the north side of Eden Road Upper just around the
corner from Magenta Place.

NUMBER 800
BENCHMARKS continued
A few years ago, while on a hunt, M.C. and Benchmarker
scoured practically the full length of the Old Bray Road in an
attempt to locate this one. It should have been easy; according to
the map it was on the still surviving wall along the south side of
the road at Cornelscourt, practically opposite the eponymous Shopping
Centre. But, it was all in vain. The conclusion was therefore that it
no longer existed. And then years later Michael Byrne came along and
spotted it and kindly emailed his find. M.C. and Benchmarker can only
marvel and lift their hats to a superb benchmark hunter.

Another one discovered by colleague M.C. Unusually, it's on a horizontal surface - the doorstep of the building attached to the Anglican Church on Main Street, Rathfarnham.
