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 31

BENCHMARKS continued
The wall surrounding the Phoenix Park is about 6 miles in length and this may be the one and only benchmark it contains; time may tell. It is located on the Chapelizod Road about 250 yards from the Islandbridge Gate.


Above: Chapelizod Road looking east; the 'mark is on the base of the wall at near-left, while nearby Benchmarker's trusty steed stands in need of company.
