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 587

BENCHMARKS continued

If you were to guess that this one is another 'mark on a railway bridge from M.C., you would be correct. And M.C. promises that it is the last such; for now. He is threatening that there are more out there to be recorded. You have been warned. This one is on Victoria Road in Greystones, County Wicklow.

NUMBER 461

BENCHMARKS continued

This one, on a wall pillar about halfway along the north side of Victoria Road in Dalkey, is not marked on any map, leading to the conclusion that it may have been placed there as a result of architectural salvage at another location. Who knows?
