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 422

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C.'s extremely long late Spring safari continues with this one on a milestone on the Howth Road at Killester in Dublin.

NUMBER 374

BENCHMARKS continued

Just a little further east on Howth Road from Number 373 is this one. Apparently it is not on the 25” map. A serendipitous find by co-operative effort of M.C. and Benchmarker.

NUMBER 373


BENCHMARKS continued

A little way onto the Howth peninsula, although still in the enclave known as Sutton, M.C. and Benchmarker found this one on the north side of Howth Road, just a tad east of the Offington Park junction.
