Bench Mark, Killyleagh
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 27 Mar 2010
Rivet bench mark located on the large stone at the corner of the Central Bar in Killyleagh - see Image Notably his mark does not appear on either the 1970s or 2007 OSNI maps; it does appear on historic maps going back as far as 1859 so appears to date from the first levelling of Ireland in the 1840s. The mark was levelled to a height of 50.4 feet above sea level. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=11037856 for many other examples I have found.
