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 347

BENCHMARKS continued

Benchmarker is not so sure but having studied the 25” map, M.C. is convinced that this is the 'mark that should be on St Mary's Chapel of Ease, - a.k.a. the Black Church - on Mountjoy Street in Dublin. And M.C. includes a likely story “according to local legend if you walk counter-clockwise round the church three times at midnight, you will summon the devil”. Wonder has M.C. been supping the devil's buttermilk?
