Below: The 'mark on the wall of Glasnevin Cemetery.

Above: The south-east corner of Glasnevin Cemetery with the 'mark on the corner of the wall at near bottom. In the mid-nineteenth century the tower was used to look out for bad folks who came at night to steal bodies that were much in demand for medical research.

NUMBER 312

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C. ventured out to the Forty Foot Swimming Place at Sandycove, County Dublin to find this one. It is not know if he brought the swimming togs to take a dip, or went au naturel.

Below: The 'mark at the Forty Foot.

Above: The entrance to the Forty Foot with the 'mark at bottom left.

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.
