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 458

BENCHMARKS continued

During that halcyon June afternoon in Dalkey, for M.C. and Benchmarker, Colliemore Road was the gift that just kept on giving. This one is near its junction with Victoria Road at the entrance to Victoria Lodge.

NUMBER 457

BENCHMARKS continued

Still in Dalkey and still on Colliemore Road, this one is on a gate pillar near to the Cliff Castle. It seems there has been a castle on this site for a long time though it's doubtful if any trace of the original remains.
