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 309


BENCHMARKS continued

Another railway bridge 'mark from M.C. This one is on the upper level of the railway bridge in the townland of Milltown South, Rathnew, County Wicklow.

Below: The 'mark on Bridge OBR 169.
Above: Bridge OBR 169 with the 'mark on the stone block that is the third one up from the pavement and directly below the bridge sign.

NUMBER 308

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C. took his life in his hands in avoiding the traffic while recording this one on railway bridge UBR 167 near Rathnew, County Wicklow.

Below: The 'mark on Bridge UBR 167.
Above: The underside of the bridge with the 'mark just between the central yellow rectangle and the pavement. With an acuity that rivals that of Sherlock Holmes, Benchmarker has concluded that the letters 'O' and 'U' in these bridge signs, means 'over' and 'under' respectively. It's elementary, old chap.
