Place & story
Distances and a benchmark
On the northern side of Leitrim, the architectural inventory records a limestone milestone set into a stone boundary wall. It dates the marker to about 1840. The recessed inscription gives figures of four for Carrick, fourteen for Drumkeeran, twenty-six for “M.Hamilton” and five for Drumshanbo. A survey benchmark is cut into its base, bringing route information and a fixed surveying reference together on one small roadside object. [2]
