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.

The 'mark on this beautiful old church - Saint Mary's, Leixlip, County Kildare - was supplied by M.C. It's one of those that has had a stud hammered into it at the apex.

NUMBER 334

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C. found this one on Pound Street, Leixlip, County Kildare. If it looks familiar, maybe it's because it looks like the one M.C. found in Maynooth.
