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 1,024

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C., who still keeps a weather eye peeled, was on a solo mop-up operation last Summer when he found this one on the south side of Harbour Road in Howth, County Dublin.

NUMBER 668

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C. will admit that he is not exactly a gifted amateur in the photography stakes, but he can be like a truffle hound on speed when it comes to sniffing out unrecorded 'marks. He spotted this one when about to go under the viaduct while driving along Harbour Road in Balbriggan, County Dublin. Now if he could just master his FAS and FAD he could be an unstoppable force of nature.
