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.

BENCHMARKS

This
one is at the junction of the wall of two old buildings on the R128,
a.k.a. the Skerries Road, at the crossroads at Ballykea, County
Dublin. Plastered with whitewash, it is difficult to make out.

NUMBER 659
BENCHMARKS

Like
Butch and Sundance, M.C. and Benchmarker buddied up for yet another
job and headed out along the trail to the north Dublin coast. First
stop was at the wall that runs past the Rush Cricket Club on the
Skerries Road, where both hunters were extra keen to be the one to
spot the first one. With a cry of “Howzat!” M.C. pointed to the
'mark, leaving Benchmarker stumped and on the back foot (ouch!).
