NUMBER 820

BENCHMARKS continued

The location of this one - on the northern edge of Blackrock Park in County Dublin - can be seen in the distance in NUMBER 818. Michael Byrne, who found it, explains that it is on the wall outside of a semicircular redundant culvert that is now occupied by an ESB sub-station.
