NUMBER 754

BENCHMARKS continued


Further west along Dublin Road in Kilkenny, on its south side, can be found this one. It was originally on the street-side of a pillar at the entrance to Saint John's Graveyard and Chapel. The chapel is long gone; the pillar has been totally rebuilt and as a result the 'mark is now on its graveyard side in an upside-down position.


Below: Another 'mark on the Dublin Road in Kilkenny City.
