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.

Is
it a Rothko; a De Kooning; or even perhaps a Gilsenen? No, it is none
of these. Rather it is the 'mark on Charles Street at its junction
with South Street in New Ross, County Wexford, as recorded by M.C.
Fellas have paid millions for stuff not nearly as good!
Below:
The 'mark on Charles Street.

This
one, recorded by M.C. on Chapel Lane at its junction with Mary Street
in New Ross, County Wexford, is on an intriguing structure. Was it a
doorway; a window; or had it some other function? And what is that
tap doing sticking out of the wall? Benchmarker would like to know.
Below:
The 'mark on Chapel Lane is at near bottom left on the intriguing
structure.
