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.

Another brickie from M.C. in Dublin 4. This one is on the archway to the path that leads from Lansdowne Station towards Railway Cottages. Interestingly, the 25'' maps show that there was once a spur of the railway that ran from Lansdowne Station to the grounds of the Royal Dublin Society.
